[Mingw-users] Problem making cross compiler

[Lawrence S. <ljs...@ho...>]

I am having problems making a cross compiler that is hosted on MinGW/MSYS 
and targetted for the sh-elf target (Dreamcast)

Binutils configured and compiled fine for this target, however when I 
attempt to do the same with GCC I have problems.

I ran the configure script like this:

../gcc-3.1/configure --prefix=/mingw/cross/sh-elf --target=sh-elf 
--without-headers --with-newlib --enable-languages=c

and it reported nothing out of the ordinary.

But when I do a "make all install" I get this after a few minutes:

gcc -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE   -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic 
-Wno-long-long  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -I. -I../../gcc-3.1/gcc 
-I../../gcc-3.1/gcc/. -I../../gcc-3.1/gcc/config 
-I../../gcc-3.1/gcc/../include \
-DPREFIX=\"/mingw/cross/sh-elf\" \
  -c ../../gcc-3.1/gcc/prefix.c -o prefix.o
In file included from /mingw/include/objbase.h:56,
                 from /mingw/include/ole2.h:9,
                 from /mingw/include/windows.h:108,
                 from ../../gcc-3.1/gcc/prefix.c:70:
/mingw/include/objidl.h:309: unnamed fields of type other than struct or 
union are not allowed
../../gcc-3.1/gcc/prefix.c: In function `lookup_key':
../../gcc-3.1/gcc/prefix.c:161: warning: pointer targets in passing arg 5 of 
`RegQueryValueExA' differ in signedness
../../gcc-3.1/gcc/prefix.c:165: warning: pointer targets in passing arg 5 of 
`RegQueryValueExA' differ in signedness
make[1]: *** [prefix.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/L.J./build-sh4-gcc/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

And it returns me to the command prompt of MSYS.

I am kindof a newbie with MinGW and MSYS but in case it is of any use my 
system is set up as the following:

MinGW runtime: 2.0
MSYS: 1.0.8
GCC version: 3.1
Win32api version: 1.5
Windows 98

Any ideas of what I should do to remedy this? Any suggestion would be 
greatly appreciated. Thank you!
