GCC 4.6.2 Pass 1 Error with gtype-desc.c

ThomasZ80 · 05-20-2012, 09:50 AM

Hallo everyone

I ran into an error during gcc-4.6.2 build process. Can you please help me finding a solution. During web search i figured out, that maybe gcc-4.6.2 has an error with gtype-desc and it is fixed in 4.6.3. I am using Arch Linux as Host Distribution.

Code:

make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc'

Here is the output of version-check.sh. I am using gcc-4.7.0 and a newer version of glibc as suggested.

Hi did you apply the patch as mentioned in the book, I dont see why it should fail thats the same as I used not so long ago.

ThomasZ80 · 05-20-2012, 11:07 AM

Yes i did apply the patch. I had a problem with the patch file. It didn´t find the right configure und configure.ac files (Patch file not altered since 4.6.0?). I wrote /mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-4.6.2/configure when promted.

Code:

patch -Np1 -i gcc-4.6.2-cross_compile-1.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 13
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Hi

I have found thisIt,s still development at the moment but they are using the gcc 4.7

anakletor · 06-04-2012, 04:19 PM

Hello,

I am a total newbie here, but I managed to fix this problem. If you host gcc is version 4.7 you will have problems compiling gcc-4.6. This is a known problem and to fix it you have to do a simple modification in gengtype.c right after extracting gcc tarball. Here is the link with the modification needed.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot.

I will try it. I will report if it solves my problem.

Hi

I would like to know how it gose. But I would like to say "anakletor" Has also had problems further down the line

ThomasZ80 · 06-08-2012, 07:47 AM

Hi Spiky

Thanks for the info. I started using the SVN manual now to prevent possible errors later. GCC Pass 2 finished, no problems so far. Time for a break.

spiky0011 · 06-08-2012, 07:52 AM

I think you should be ok. He was using the earlier version
