Fwd: Errors issued while building GCC

[Ankur Gupta]

Hello,

I am newly assigned to GNU CC work. I am using Win-xp-sp2 and Cygwin to
build GCC. I have successfully installed the 'binutils', but while building
GCC below errors are being issued:

--cut--
../.././gcc/config/mips/mips.md:3318:5: missing terminating " character
../.././gcc/config/mips/mips.md:3319: error: stray '\' in program
../.././gcc/config/mips/mips.md:3319: error: syntax error before "n"
../.././gcc/config/mips/mips.md:3321: error: stray '\' in program




../.././gcc/config/mips/mips.md:407: error: initializer element is not
constant
../.././gcc/config/mips/mips.md:407: error: (near initialization for
`insn_conditions[205]')
make[1]: *** [build/insn-conditions.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gcc/host-i686-pc-cygwin/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
--cut--

I am using below procedure to build GCC:

1. Configure the GCC by giving the following command in the directory where
GCC package is placed.

$ ./configure --target='mipsisa32-elf' --enable-languages=c,c++ --
prefix=

 is the path where GCC package is to be
installed. I am using /usr/local/bin for this.

2. Build the GCC package by

$ make all-gcc

3. Install the GCC package by:

$ make install-gcc


Please help me in rectifying these issues.

Thanks for your response, Manuel.

No, we aren't going to improve GCC. We are just studying abt GCC currently.
Anyways my problem has been solved. I had also seen list of companies
providing commercial support for GCC, but i couldnt recall the website
at this time..will look for that.

Thanks.
