Re[2]: [Mingw-users] How to build a cross compiler

[Chris B. <ki...@bi...>]

Earnie,

Thanks for your suggestion.  I have re-installed MinGW and MSys so
details are now:

My system:
           Windows 2000 SP 3, on AMD Athlon XP1700+, 256MB RAM
Installed:
           MinGW-2.0.0.3.exe
           MSYS-1.0.9-2003.06.05-1.exe
Obtained copies of:
           binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src.tar.gz
           gcc-3.2.3-20030504-1-src.tar.gz
Placed these in directory:
           ~/xmingw
Changed directory to:
           ~/xmingw
Executed:
           gzip -dc binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src.tar.gz | tar xf -
           mv binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1
           cd binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1 && ./configure \
                   --target=i386-pc-linux-gnu \
                   --prefix=/opt/xmingw32 \
                   > ../binutils-configure.log 2>&1
           cd binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1 && \
                   make "CFLAGS=-2 -O2" > ../binutils-build.log 2>&1
(Note: 'mv' line is because binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src.tar.gz
unzips atypically to binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1-src rather than
binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1 and I like to keep things tidy!)

There does not appear to be anything unexpected in the
binutils-configure.log.

But the make now fails with the relevant lines in binutils.build.log
being:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/kit/xmingw/binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1/intl'
gcc -c -DLOCALEDIR=\"/opt/xmingw32/share/locale\" -DGNULOCALEDIR=\"/opt/xmingw32/share/locale\" -DLOCALE_ALIAS_PATH=\"/opt/xmingw32/share/locale:.\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.  -s -O2  intl-compat.c
      0 [main] sh 1316 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to sh.exe.stackdump
make[2]: *** [intl-compat.o] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and the sh.exe.stackdump is now:

Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Chris Bishop
