- We have the Interactive UNIX Workstation Developer Kit 3.0 (we're waiting
- for the software to come in to update to 3.0.1) and want to build GCC for it.
- I have several questions and if some kind person who has built GCC under ISC
- could help me, I would be VERY grateful. I should add that we are running
- ISC on a 486 box.
- 1) Is it necessary to build GAS? I got it built, but it barfed on one
- of the files in GCC-2.3.3, so I rebuilt GCC with the native AT&T assembler.
- Are there any special defines you need to build GAS that maybe I overlooked?
- I used the following in CFLAGS : -g -I. -DUSG -DNO_VARARGS -DNON_BROKEN_WORDS
- and I linked in the malloc and PW libraries as the Makefile seemed to
- indicate I should.
- 2) When I built GCC, I did not use ld.c from binutils or collect. It
- apparently can use the native linker under SysVR3. Is this OK?
- 3) The instructions for building GCC in the file INSTALL indicate in
- step 6 that you need to convert libgcc.a to a GNU-format library before
- going on to stage2. I got binutils-1.9 and tried this and had all kinds
- of problems. Leaving libgcc.a alone did enable me to finish building GCC.
- I can't find anything to indicate if Interactive uses COFF or not, so can
- someone please tell me if I need to convert libgcc.a or not? If you have
- to build the programs in binutils-1.9, which defines do you need? I used
- -DUSG -DCOFF_ENCAPSULATE -DPORTAR -DNON_NATIVE -DSYS_SIGLIST_MISSING -Di386.
- I also used the AT&T library libPW.a for alloca - was this wise or should I
- have used the GNU version?
- 4) Are there any special defines you need when building GCC for ISC 3.0
- that aren't automagically setup up by configure?
- 5) My attempt at building libg++-2.3 failed, perhaps because GCC wasn't
- built properly in the first place. Is there anything I need to watch out
- for in building this?
- 6) I got 4 warnings when enquire ran, all related to the precision of
- a double. Is this normal under ISC? I don't know how accurate Intel's
- chip is, so I wondered if this might be normal.
- Again, any assistance I can be given would be greatly appreciated. If
- you post, please direct follow-ups to gnu.gcc.help.
