Hello,

I'm currently "trying" to compile the GCC compiler as described here: http://wiki.osdev.org/Cannot_perform_PE ... on-PE_file
Unfortunately the compilation process doesn't succeed during the compilation of the binutils.
When I look into the config.log file, I can see the following error messages multiple times:

configure:4214: $? = 0
configure:4203: gcc -v >&5
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc

Any ideas on that?

Thanks for your help

You forgot to follow the instructions in the tutorial, I guess.

Please attach the ./configure lines you used and the entire shell session and outputs, so we can review. You may be looking at a red herring.

Hello,

I have installed all the prerequisites as described at http://wiki.osdev.org/Cannot_perform_PE ... on-PE_file.
But when I run configure through the following command line, I get some errors in the file "build-binutils/config.log"

cd $HOME/src
mkdir build-binutils
cd build-binutils
../binutils-x.y.z/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --disable-nls

I have attached the config.log file with the error messages.

Thanks

-Klaus

Of course, I have replaced

../binutils-x.y.z/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --disable-nls

with

../binutils-2.23.52/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --disable-nls

Thanks

-Klaus

Please, post your terminal session, not config.log.

Hello,

Enclosed you'll find now the output from the configure command.

Thanks

-Klaus

Enclosed you will also find the output of the make command.

Errors are to be expected in the config.log file. As long as it creates a makefile there shouldn't be a problem. You don't show us the command that you used to run the make.

Hello,

It seems now that the make process of the binutils is working.
I had to start the command line with administrative privileges under Windows 7... ;-(
And currently the compilation of GCC is running... #FingersCrossed

Sorry for the confusion...

Where do people keep getting non-existent releases from?
