[Mingw-users] Building Mingw for ARM target

[Dave M. <win...@nt...>]

Hi,

I'm still playing around with this I'm afraid :)

I manged to build gcc 3.2.1, binutils 2.13.1 & newlib 1.11.0 (sources from
ftp.gnu.org) for an ARM target reasonably happily using mingw. I decided to
have a play with the sources from mingw.

With binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src, everything seems to go fine until this
point

/bin/sh ../../binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src/binutils/../ylwrap "bison -y"
../../binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src/binutils/arparse.y y.tab.c arparse.c
y.tab.h arparse.h --  -d
C:\msys\bin\bison.exe: no grammar file given
make[3]: *** [arparse.c] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/projects/mingw/mingw-binutils/obj/binutils'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/c/projects/mingw/mingw-binutils/obj/binutils'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/projects/mingw/mingw-binutils/obj/binutils'
make: *** [all-binutils] Error 2

I'm using Mingw 2.0.0, MinSys 1.0.8 and MinSys DTK 1.0.1

when I had an earlier problem with bison I was advised to copy bsion.simple
& bison.hairy from the share directory to the bin directory. Looking through
my current installation I see these files no longer exist. Have I missed
something with the install?

if it's relevant bison.exe has the same response to everything, including
bison --help :(
