Re: [Mingw-users] need help compiling mingw gcc 3.4.5

[Emil T. <del...@ya...>]

I'm sorry for my poor description - I was quite frustrated last week.
I'm really not exactly sure what information I need to provide but I'll try to do better this time.

I decided to delete everything (except msys and the mingw I got as binaries) and start fresh. Alas, I get the missing header error again, though in a different place.

I have the mingw binaries in "D:\devel\tools\mingw32", that's the following packages:
from the mingw project:
- gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz
- gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz
- binutils-2.18.50-20080109-2.tar.gz
- mingw32-make-3.81-20080326-2.tar.gz
- w32api-3.11.tar.gz
- mingw-runtime-3.14.tar.gz
- mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
from the gdcwin project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdcwin/), though I think these should have nothing to do with compiling C stuff:
- gdc-0.24-gcc-3.4.5.exe
- gdb-0.2-gdb-6.3-2.exe

I have msys (don't remember the exact packages, as I've been gradually adding new ones over a long period of time) in "D:\devel\tools\msys". It has "d:/devel/tools/mingw32" mounted in "/mingw".

The PATH environment variable is:
"/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/mingw/libexec/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5:/bin:/c/Windows/system32:/c/Windows"

I found I need the "libexec/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5" in the PATH when using Vista, otherwise the compiler complains about not finding "cc1.exe" (this applies to compiling anything, not just compiling mingw).

I don't think I have any environment variables defined (other than PATH), which would affect the compilation. (Should I?)


I'm trying to compile mingw with just C and C++ so I have only these source packages:
- gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-2-src.tar.gz
- gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-2-src.tar.gz

I extracted both of them into my msys home dir.

Then I got the build script from "gcc-build-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz" and extracted it to a directory created by me called "gcc-build-3.4.5-20060117-3", because appently the build script needs to be at the same level as configure, but in a different directory.

So now my directory structure is like this:

myhome
+ gcc-3.4.5-20060117-2
  + configure
+ gcc-build-3.4.5-20060117-3
  + gcc-3.4.5-build-3.sh

I have modified 2 things in the build script:

First, since I'm only compiling C and C++ I changed:
  --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,ada,objc,java
to
  --enable-languages=c,c++

Second, as I understand the --prefix argument of the configure script sets the output path, so I changed it from
  --prefix=/mingw
to
  --prefix=/home/emo/mingw
so that I don't mess up my current mingw.

I run the build script from the directory where it is with this:
./gcc-3.4.5-build-3.sh 2>&1 | tee log.txt


This is the error I get now is:

followed by a long list of syntax errors, which I guess are caused by the missing declarations.

Judging by Brian Dessent's the build process has stopped even earlier than before, but I really have no idea what I've changed, because I foolishly deleted my previous attempt.

I can't think of any other info to provide, but please tell me if there is anyting I missed.

Thank you in advance for any help.
