Hello

I'm working with ubunto 11.04. i have gcc 4.5.2.

I want install gcc 4.2.4. i download it and i follow this steps

tar -xvjpf gcc-4.2.4.tar.bz2
mkdir gcc-obj
cd gcc-obj
../gcc-4.2.4/configure
make
sudo make install

I have errors when executing the command make

Have you any idea for this problem ?

Thank you

Welcome to LQ.

1) Looks like you are building for MIPS ?
What's the reply from 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' ?


2) Plain 'configure' will not do for gcc. Default is :

../gcc-4.2.4/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc424 --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --with-system-zlib --with-gmp-include=$(pwd)/gmp --with-gmp-lib=$(pwd)/gmp/.libs
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-1-a-842567/#2


3) I wouldn't use Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 for development. Too many pitfalls.
..... ( 11.10 : No gcc can be built. AFAIK.)


4) gcc-4.2.4 packages for Ubuntu 11.04, 32bits i386 are available :
a) gcc42-compat-4.2.4_i386.deb
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US
b) g++42-compat-4.2.4_i386.deb
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US

...

Thanks for your reply. I am using 64 bit based CPU.

I execute the command

I.e. : asm/errno.h : No such file ...

Is g++ installed ? ( Installing g++ takes care that all headers etc.
required for gcc gets installed : libc6-dev, linux-libc-dev ).
"asm/errno.h" http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty-upd...inux-libc-dev/

Is your OS 64bits ? Or 32bits ?

What is the purpose of installing gcc-4.2.4 ?
(Not all applications can be built on the 64bits Ubuntu 11.04).
..

yes the g++ is installed.

I am using 64 bit based CPU.

I have to install gcc 4.2.4 because CILK ++ requires a gcc 4.2.4

the following notes is from documentation of install cilk++ :

To use the Intel Cilk++ SDK to build applications for the Linux* OS:
o The compiler in this SDK is built on version 4.2.4 of the GNU Compiler Collection
(gcc) and requires the same environment as that version of gcc, including a linker
and assembler typically installed into /bin/utils.

The question is not whether you have a 64bits CPU.

Please answer the questions from posts # 2, # 6.

Deciding the processor "name" : 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
... And please tell us the name / type.

Deciding the OS architecture : 'uname -m'

There is no 'asm' directory,

So, do i have to install linux-libc-dev to have /usr/include/asm/errno.h ???

Just for the record
http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/...c-dev/filelist
>>> /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm/errno.h

I don't know how you can install g++ and not getting linux-libc-dev installed.
EDIT : Sorry, looks like the package is installed.


Anyway : Why not use the two packages listed in post #2 ?
gcc42-compat-4.2.4_i386.deb, g++42-compat-4.2.4_i386.deb
( Built for Ubuntu 11.04 "i686" only.)
.... Then you don't have to build another "gcc-4.2.4"

..

The two Ubuntu 11.04 packages were built by another method.

Namely Eric Hameleers "gcc34.SlackBuild" script(s) modified to 'gcc42'
http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/s...c34.SlackBuild


May be it isn't possible to build gcc with the standard method (post #2)
on Ubuntu 11.04 ? And I have no intension to try, as 11.04 is a
terrible OS for development.

Hello,

It's work when i installed the deb files :

4) gcc-4.2.4 packages for Ubuntu 11.04, 32bits i386 are available :
a) gcc42-compat-4.2.4_i386.deb
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US
b) g++42-compat-4.2.4_i386.deb
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US


Thank you,
