Binutils doesn't compile when disregarding instructions

[shervingav]

hi,
im trying to build the cross compiler.
but when running make in binutils all i get is this:

sudo make

Did you run ./configure before trying to run make?
What arguments did you pass to ./configure script?
Btw, 'sudo make' is a very bad idea.

[Combuster]

sudo make

In other words, follow the tutorial properly. If you deviate from it like you do now, all bets are off in the first place.

[sortie]

Looking at this again, it appears you are doing an out-of-directory build of binutils inside a binutils subdirectory. This isn't supported and won't work. Building as root is strongly discouraged, but it ought to work.

Hi,
I have a similar problem. The commands I've executed:

Code: Select all

export PREFIX="$HOME/cross_compiler"
export TARGET=i686-elf
export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PATH"

cd /inside/binutils/sourcedir
mkdir build-binutils
cd build-binutils
../binutils-x.y.z/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --with-sysroot --disable-nls --disable-werror
make

I've also tried:

Code: Select all

cd /outside/binutils/sourcedir
mkdir build-binutils
cd build-binutils
../binutils-x.y.z/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --with-sysroot --disable-nls --disable-werror
make

But doesn't matters what I'm doing, the result is the same:

I know, reading and following instructions can be really hard, but I suggest that you at least try to do it that way.

Where are you making the build from(in-tree or out)? In-tree isn't supported, even if it's a sub-directory inside the "binutils-x.y.z" directory. What's your GCC and Binutils version? What system? Are you sure "../binutils-x.y.z/configure" is running successfully?

[Andrej]

Hi,
Finally I've succeeded. No idea what was going wrong, just deleted everything what was needed for the process, even the source files and started everything again, it seems to work this time.
