Hey all,

Attempting another LFS with 4.0. Same machine I've used on several distros (LFS included v.3.3)

When installing/patching/making gcc3.2 I'm getting the following error:

**************
auto-host.h:576: parse error before numeric constant
make[2]: *** [gengenrtl.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/usr/src/gcc-build/gcc'
make[1]: *** [stage1_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/lfs/usr/src/gcc-build/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
**************

The 2 steps prior to this was installing the 2 patches listed by the 4.0 manual. The patches went ok. At least as far as I could tell, nothing looked odd.
The above error appears with the following command:
**********
make BOOT_LDFLAGS=-static bootstrap
**********

Any ideas? I looked at the header file and line 576 has:
HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN 1
which I can only assume was added with the command:
*************
echo "#define HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN 1" >> gcc/auto-host.h
*************
which was applied right before the make BOOT...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

If that's what is on the line, then you forgot to add the "#define" portion when you executed the echo command.

Just edit the file and change it to
#define HAVE_GAS_HIDDEN 1

no i didnt

Maybe you executed the line twice. I don't know, but I can tell you, one way or the other, the line was not placed in the file properly.

The line, as you said the file contained, WILL cause a syntax error when trying to compile the source code. Regardless of how it got there, you need to add the #define to the beginning of the line.
