Cygwin and ELF Again

[srg]

Hi

Sorry to bring this up again but I'm still having problems getting the whole GCC compiler collection building on cygwin, when I 'make' I allways get:

[font=Courier]
gcc-3.2.2/gcc/config/i386/i386.c:927: for each function it appears in.)
gcc-3.2.2/gcc/config/i386/i386.c: In function `ix86_save_reg':
gcc-3.2.2/gcc/config/i386/i386.c warning: comparison between signed
and unsigned
make[1]: *** [i386.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gccbuild/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
[/font]

Please could someone show me a step-by-step account on how to build a complete working ELF compiler (including binutils) collection in Cygwin.

Thank you for your help

It looks like you're missing an error message at the start. "for each function it appears in.)" is part of an "undeclared identifier" message. That looks like your problem.

Why should this happen? Shouldn't it just compile ok, this is the full distribution tarball and not a beta.

I have compiled binutils several times under cygwin without problems..

i usually do

./configure --with-stabs --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld {target info}

make
make install

and it all works fine...

Binutils compiles fine, it's GCC that doesn't compile

Hmm interesting. I have just had delevered the book "GCC Complete Reference" and it states that I need to congifure a library for the target machine before compiling the cross compiler.

Seems Sensible :-[

I don't have an ELF Target

Where can I get the lib and include files for building an ELF cross compiler

Thanks

for an elf target, you have to build binutils

this makes as/ld/etc that handle elf, aout, etcetcetc.
