gcc 2.95.3 useful ? and compilable?

QNX Newsgroups (Archives) qdn.public.qnxrtp.devtools

First I wonder if it is usefull for me to spend time on compiling the QNX
version of gcc 2.95.3 ?

If so, How do I do?

I already gave a try to it but something goes wrong at compile time.
The target is x86, some x86.md file (in x86 directory) is needed and doesn’t
exist.
But, there’s a i386.md file in i386 directory…

So what have I done wrong???

for the courageous : what I have typed in :
…/gcc2953/configure --enable-languages=c++ --prefix=…/gccbin
and after a while :
make bootstraps
and it stops when compiling gcc as described above!

Thanks for any help!

I downloaded the already done QNX version but it didn’t compile and I could
not find the binaries.

My purpose was : do I spend time on this (as I have troubles with the 2.95.2
version concerning speed of the produced executables)? It seems (see other
posts) that some fixes in optimisation might be valuable.

The troubles is still there, the “official” (at least downloaded on the
official site) 2.95.3 version is not compiling on my 6.1 RTP!(see my first
post, at the bottom of this one).

If someone can help… I’m sure that if it will be in the next release, it
should be easy to have information.

BTW, I was told the 6.1.1 (or 6.2 beta) will be available in one month!
Please, I don’t want to wait that long!

I was not clear enough…
I already downloaded the GNU gcc sources from qnx
(http://developers.qnx.com/Ports/)

That version didn’t compile with the problem I mentionned in my first post.

I’m going to check the beta program. Thanks for the info.

If anyone has some hint on compiling the QNX modified version of gcc 2.95.3,
please let me know.

Didier.

Ok I finally got it!

If you read carefully the GNU docs you will make many things that are
useless.

after untarzipping your download, simply type :
build-ntox86.nto

And it will make everything for you (if you read this script, you might want
to had some parameters to manage the directories where it works!

The new problem (but we are moving forward indeed!) is : How do we install
this stuff in the proper manner.
Don’t tell me there’s a packagexx.qpg, I couldn’t have it working correctly!

Thanks for any more help!

Yeap, that did the thing (to compile the compiler anyhow).

I then installed it by doing ‘make install’ from the …/nto/ntox86 library.

BUT
I cannot get the thing to compile the libstdc++ !!!
I the docs it says that this shall be compiled if one does ‘make bootstrap’
but not for me.
