servus all,

i try to build a cross gcc for some days already;
host is windows xp sp3, target should be arm-elf and the build 
environment is mingw/msys.
mingw is separately composed of
  binutils-2.18.50-20080109-2
  gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-3
  mingwrt-3.15.1-mingw32
  mingw32-make-3.81-2
  mingw-utils-0.3
  w32api-3.12-mingw32-dev
msys is composed of
  msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826
  flex-2.5.33-MSYS-1.0.11-1
  crypt-1.1-1-MSYS-1.0.11-1
  regex-0.12-MSYS-1.0.11-1
  perl-5.6.1-MSYS-1.0.11-1
  bison-2.3-MSYS-1.0.11-1
  m4-1.4.7-MSYS
additionally i've build
  autoconf-2.63
  automake-1.10
and install them into "msys/home/install".
source archives for cross gcc are
  binutils-2.19
  gcc-4.3.3
  gmp-4.2.4
  mpfr-2.4.1
  newlib-1.17.0
"msys/home/install/bin" and mingw bin directory are added to msys PATH 
environment variable.
based on this configuration and lots of tutorials from the inet i wrote 
a simple shell script (see attachment) for building my cross gcc.
but i've no success. everytime i run the script, i get following errors:

1
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/widar/src_gcc/gcc-4.3.3_build/libiberty/testsuite'

2

i become desperate.
actually the goal is to create a arm-elf cross gcc with project specific 
customizable newlib syscalls and no generally os dependecy or bareboard 
support only.
can anybody help me?

thank you,
daniel

Take a look at YAGARTO (http://www.yagarto.de/), the new version was 
built with the following options:

 -DREENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED
 --disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls

You can take a look at my build script too, perhapse this can help
to solve your build problems? Under the download table you will find
a link to the source.

Regards,

Michael

That is exactly what the Yagarto, WinARM, and CodeSourcery builds 
already do. Why do you feel you need to build your own with that 
selection?

Take a look at the "ARM-GCC development resources" sticky thread at the 
top of the forum (http://embdev.net/topic/129986), it has links to a 
number of GNU tool-chains for ARM. Also the entry "Building bare-metal 
ARM with GNU" describes exactly what you are trying to do with already 
available built tool-chains (those already mentioned in fact).

hi,

thanks for your responses.

@michael: why do you build GMP and MPFR separately in your newest build 
script? i thought i've read that it will also work / it's equivalent if 
GMP and MPFR sources will copy or link into GCC source directory. do you 
know something about that? do you have experiences with both procedures?

@clifford: i know that there are a lot of working toolchains for arm :o)
i use yagarto and crossworks. allthough i want to to build a toolchain 
just for my interest ... but for a current demand :o)

@all: has anybody take a look at the attached build script? are there 
any fundamental errors or is it a possible solution for building a gcc 
arm toolchain?

thnx
daniel

In that case I object to the 'desparate' plea for help when it was not 
really that important after all! The phrase "i become desperate" kind of 
implied to me that this was stopping you getting work done. I think 
perhaps you overstated your desperation since this is obviously not 
stopping you from doing productive work.

If your stated goal were real, you would use an existing tool-chain. Bit 
now you have changed your goal, which is merely to build the tool-chain 
for interest. You are in it for the journey, not the destination.


> ... but for a current demand :o)

That kind of contradicts the "just for interest" statement. If you mean 
for a project, do you need to risk your project schedule by building and 
testing your own tool-chain?

The GCC 4.3.x need GMP and MPFR, but I do not have these tools
installed on my build machine. The same with expat.

hi all,

last weekend i tested around like announced.
i varied the GMP and MPFR handling, i also used the unchanged YAGARTO 
build scripts and i edited MSYS. all trails finished without success, 
but with various errors. i capitulate.

@clifford:
i tested around for 5 or 6 weekends to build my own GCC/NEWLIB toolchain 
(newlib = -DREENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED & 
--disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls). YAGARTO wasn't available in this 
configuration at this time (released on 29.03.2009) and even there is no 
other toolchain i think. and because there where no improvement to the 
last part of my build process for such a long time i became desperate.
further the absence of a working toolchain that fits my requests stopps 
me from doing very interessting, productive private work.

@michael:
thanks for your help. because i didn't get my toolchain work, i will use 
YAGARTO again and suspend my intent to build a own toolchain. apparently 
YAGARTO meets my requests now :o)

thanks again,
daniel
