Hi All! I am facing problem in building binutils. Binutils source has been downloaded from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.19.1.tar.gz For learning purpose, I have configured binutil for mipstx39 using following command: ../binutils-2.19.1/configure --target=mipstx39 --prefix=/home/meena/install On doing 'make' afterwards stops with following errors: ../../binutils-2.19.1/gas/config/tc-mips.c: In function ‘macro_end’: ../../binutils-2.19.1/gas/config/tc-mips.c:3459: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments ../../binutils-2.19.1/gas/config/tc-mips.c: In function ‘md_convert_frag’: ../../binutils-2.19.1/gas/config/tc-mips.c:14452: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments The above errors was occurred for below lines of code in tc-mpis.c file: Line 3459: as_warn(msg) : Line 14452: as_warn_where (fragp->fr_file, fragp->fr_line, msg); Explored on net regarding the cause of above error. Referred the below link http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-binutils@gnu.org/msg06475.html Modified the above lines of code as Line 3459: as_warn("%s", msg) : Line 14452: as_warn_where (fragp->fr_file, fragp->fr_line, "%s", msg); After doing above modifications, the above errors are not coming but make stops with another warning/error messages as shown below: WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site. make[3]: *** [ld.info] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/meena/binutils-2.19.1/build/ld' make[2]: *** [info-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/meena/binutils-2.19.1/build/ld' make[1]: *** [all-ld] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/meena/binutils-2.19.1/build' make: *** [all] Error 2 Any idea what could be the cause of above error? Thanks in advance.
