The configure string was: sh ../gcc-4.6.2/configure --enable-cloog-backend=isl --program-suffix=4.6.2-g --enable-lto --enable-werror --with-mpc=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-ppl=/usr/local --enable-cloog-backend=isl --prefix=/usr/local --enable-static=all --enable-libada --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto,objc
uname is: Darwin moon 11.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.2.0: Tue Aug 9 20:54:00 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1699.24.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 I was unable to build the boehm garbage collection. There is a patch here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-04/msg01104.html which doesn't seem to be applied as of gcc-4.6.2. The other thing is, there's a peculiarity with Darwin (or so people told me on freenode #gcc) whereby the build would break because the configure scripts use -V and -qversion and "that's been gone since 4.6". So after manually removing instances of -V and -qversion from the configure scripts, opting not for the boehm garbage collection, it compiled for c, c++, fortran, lto, and objc. I couldn't get Java to compile. Seems like the above patch is available, but has not been applied to the trunk. Seems also that the -V and -qversion flags should probably be ditched too. Oh, one last thing, the environment had to be set correctly. I had mpc, mpfr, and gmp in /usr/local, and the following environment variables needed to be set for the compile to work: ABI=64 CONFIG_SHELL=sh (NOT! bash) ARCH=x86-64 CFLAGS="-m64 ${ARCH}" DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib CC=gcc I fear it's a bit of cargo cultery with the environment variables (CC=gcc??), but it just seemed to work better that way. Thanks for all your hard work putting the collection together. I really appreciate it. Oh, and if needs be, I have several x32 and x64 macs I can test things on. -- Alex J Avriette http://search.cpan.org/~alex/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/avriette (+1 858 3677293)
