Errors compiling newlib

Post by Luns »

I'm trying to port newlib to my OS, and am running into an error trying to build the 'libgloss' library. After making my modifications to the files in that directory, I run './configure', and get the error 'cannot find install-sh or install.sh in ./../.. ././../..' . Some quick searching seems to indicate that this is caused by the software creator not putting the install.sh file in the folder, however, I assume that the newlib devs wouldn't have forgotten to do that.

Has anyone had this happen before, or does anyone know what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

install.sh is an autoconf generated file. Run autoconf.

Err nevermind, it looks like I don't need to build libgloss separately. Building newlib builds the libraries libc.a, libcygmon.a, libm.a, libg.a, and libnosys.a. libnosys.a is the library build from libgloss, correct?
