Ok, first I've found a few threads which had the same problem going on, but like
this one, they didn't solve my problem.
I'm on the Binutils-2.14 - Pass 1, I've been following the directions to the letter so far as far as I know. I entered
Code:
../binutils-2.14/configure --prefix=/tools --disable-nls
from the "binutils-build" directory, and got the following output:
Code:
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking target system type... i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1
checking build system type... i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: crtl.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** The command 'gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
I had to copy using pen and paper, and retype as 1, it would be hard for me to get a text file to a computer w/ internet and 2, the command
Code:
../binutils-2.14/configure --prefix=/tools --disable-nls > output
only writes the first 4 lines, up until the errors, so if I typed something wrong and its not a trivial thing, sorry.
I tried changing the command to
Code:
CC=gcc ../binutils-2.14/configure --prefix=/tools --disable-nls
but there wasn't any change. What's going on? I'm building on a fresh slack 10.0.
