Hello All

I am using Fedora Core10. I need to use gcc-3.3.3 while the gcc version which got installed with FC10 is gcc-4.3.2. So I am trying to compile and install gcc-3.3.3 using gcc-4.3.2. Below are the steps and error which I am getting:

1.cd gcc-3.3.3
2. ./config.guess
i686-pc-linux-gnu
3. ./configure --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/local
4. make

And then soon I get the following error message:
-------------
gcc -c -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -I. -I. -I. -I./. -I./config -I./../include ./read-rtl.c -o read-rtl.o

make[1]: *** [read-rtl.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/arvind/OperatingSystemEngineering/toolchain/gcc-3.3.3/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Could anybody please tell me why I am getting this error?
Are these software erroneous? they have syntax errors?

I would appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi -

This link has your exact scenario:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-...1/22/0008.html
Perhaps the easiest solution is to simply download and use an older version of GCC to build this particular toolchain of yours?

Thanks for your response!
Could you please give me some pointers to download rpm for older gcc so that I can build this version using them.
I tried downloading rpm from here:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/2/simple/2
but while installing the rpm talks about dependencies.

Why its so bad and tough. Nothing works fine.

Thanks for your help

for gcc3.4 install the legacy tools

Thanks John!

I am compiling 3.3.1 with the latest GCC. I too am getting the same error. I did install the "Legacy Soft. Devel.," but still getting the same error.

well the name of the legacy gcc is "compact-gcc-34 "
for the very old gcc 3.2 or ( why do you need 3.3.1 - aug-2003 ) build it .
read the readme and install file for the instructions
http://gcc.releasenotes.org/releases/gcc-3.3.1/
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
did you read the *.html pages ?
deepumnit:
also why not just port the code for whatever program that needs the old gcc to use 4.3
