Subject: gcc on Motorola Delta box ca. 1985
Summary: query on porting to SysV R2V2.2
Keywords: Delta gcc
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1993 19:50:13 GMT




  For several years I've been trying off and on to get gcc running on an
old Motorola Delta box.  The unix system identifies itself as System
V/68 M68020 R2V2.2, copyright 1985.

  By supplying a minimal config.h, I can get cccp to compile with some
complaints about enums.  The unix compiler supports structure
assignments, but apparently not reentrantly in subroutine returns. 
cccp crashes with a core dump almost immediately.

  Has anyone succeeded porting to this system, and if so what is the
trick?

  Thanks,

I am trying to build a ld for use in a m68k cross compiling setup.  I have
built gas and gcc (m68k-sony-bsd).  I'm trying to build binutils 2.0 and
everything (ar, nm, size, objdump...) works EXCEPT ld which complains with
this:

% ./ld test.o
./ld target a.out-newsos3 not found

Can anyone comment ?  Gcc and gas appear to work great but the last step (ld)
is holding me up.

I have been trying to get gcc/g++ 2.3.3 going on a mips 3240
running risc/os 4.52 (set up to look like bsd4.3)
with cc 2.20.  Problems encountered so far are:

	1) cc gives segmentation violation during compile
	   of insn-peep.c (fixed by compiling either with
	   cc2.11 or gcc 1.42 -- the origin of the problem
	   is in the tm.h file, I think)

	2)  Although the build of the stage 1 compiler goes
	   ok when done with gcc 1.42, the attempt to build
	   the stage 2 compiler fails as follows:

% make CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O"
	stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/  -DIN_GCC   -g -O     -I. -I. -I./config \

*** Error code 1
cccp.c:81: sys/time.h: No such file or directory
cccp.c:82: sys/resource.h: No such file or directory

The right include directories are in the search path, so it looks
like I've screwed up in the initial build somehow.  The 
configuration is:  mips-mips-riscos4.52bsd4.3

Any suggestions?

Organization: Dept. of Cognitive Science, The Johns Hopkins University

I've used previous versions of gcc without problem, and in fact I've
been very impressed with the extent to which (for the last few
versions) building it on my NeXT has become completely trivial. Until
today, that is.

I updated my (working) copy of 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 with the patches that
appeared on prep while I was on Xmas vacation, and rebuilt everything
from scratch. Having rebuilt gcc, I rebuilt libg++.a too, and had no
trouble. But now when I try to use the new gcc for anything else, I
get the message

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec cpp: No such file or directory

What's going on? I'm sure this is completely trivial, but I can't see
what I've done wrong. I completely de-installed all gcc stuff, and
rebuilt it from scratch - everything in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib looks
ok to me (and cpp is indeed there, as the executable file
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/next-mach/2.3.3/cpp). But I can't use it.

Help!

Wow! I thought we were the only ones in the world with Motorola Delta boxes of that
vintage. I have managed to get gcc built on one of those boxes; however we're running
a much newer release of the OS (R3V6.2). I had previously tried to build it on a system
running R3V5 but couldn't get it to work. It took on the order of 4-6 HOURS to compile
one of the first parts of the system and eventually blew up because of some HUGE macro 
expansion in the code, as I remember. If you have the option, I would suggest trying
to obtain a software upgrade - there are so many fixes and changes (including 
addition of networking and X-windows support), not to mention C compiler bug fixes,
since R2V2 that I wouldn't attempt to build it there.

Organization: Electronic Circuit Design Group, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands



I am having trouble with gcc/g++ 2.2.2 compiling programs with -pg
options for profiling. I have been looking what g++ actually does
during compilation/linking (-v option) and compared this to 'cc' (on 
a SUN Sparc).

It seem that g++ is linking the wrong libraries which do not contain
the right function for profiling. When I try to make a seperate call
to the linker with the same libraries substituded as with 'cc', I get
a long list of 'Undefined' names which look like 'LBE??' and 'LBB??'.


Does anyone know the answer to my problems ?? Please help me, because
I am getting quite desperate.

I can not compile simple C++ programs which contain exceptions,

I have tried with gcc 2.2.2 and 2.3.3 on a SunOS 4.1.2 machine.

I had the same problem. The reason is that some of the typedefs
in  DEC's distribution of X.h and Xutil.h are in the wrong files
(because Xlib includes only X.h, I suppose).  Therefore the typedefs
for XSizeHints,XWMHints, XTextProperty, XClassHint & XStandardColormap
should be moved from Xutil.h to X.h

If you like, I can send you my patched files. Just
drop me a line!

Good luck!

It might make sense to distribute the <iostream.h> package with gcc
and to retain the container and utility classes (which make up the
bulk of libg++) as a separate distribution.

Rationale:

Most C++ programs/packages use iostreams and there is pretty good agreement
on what the iostreams package should look like.  On the other hand there
are a variety of container/utility class libraries available (eg. COOL,
the USL standard components, the Booch components) and the monolithic
nature of libg++ often makes it difficult to incorporate components from
other libraries due to naming clashes (there is also a notorious naming
clash between the GNU String class and a typedef used in Xt).  I think that
there is a good case for splitting libg++ up even if the streams package
were not distributed with gcc.

problem is the size of the source.  this would be a massive package.
for those not interested in c++, this size might be a real hindrance,
particularly on systems with limited space.

although, perhaps one approach would be to have two gcc packages, one
with libg++ and one without.  the way libg++ is distributed, seems
like this would be rather easy to facilitate.  the configure step
could apply to both.  with libg++, it almost looks like this might be
an eventual goal.  could this be the case?

I agree. About the only thing I use from libg++ is iostream and
whenever I use g++ I always use iostream.  IMHO, this package is
essential.

I like to install gcc version 2.3.3 on our Sun Sparcs running

Following the install instructions the compilation of the gcc
is easy. The only problem is that our Suns have non ANSI
includes located in /usr/include/ which are be used for
fix-includes. After all I get a working gcc that produces
trillians of warnings if I try to use the warn levels -Wall due
to missing prototypes for library functions.

Has anybody any ideas how I can get a workaround for this problem?
I tried copying the ANSI includes from acc (the Sun ANSI compiler)
but there seems to be some incompabilities with that files
(prototypes for fdopen/popen/... are only included with
-D__STDC=0, functions have two declarations with different types ...)

Are there any solutions that can easyly be repeated for all new
versions of gcc?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

So, trying a different tack, we tried compiling it with the cc on bsd

Organization: 1926CCSG Robins AFB


    We have the Interactive UNIX Workstation Developer Kit 3.0 (we're waiting
for the software to come in to update to 3.0.1) and want to build GCC for it.
I have several questions and if some kind person who has built GCC under ISC
could help me, I would be VERY grateful.  I should add that we are running
ISC on a 486 box.
     1) Is it necessary to build GAS?  I got it built, but it barfed on one
of the files in GCC-2.3.3, so I rebuilt GCC with the native AT&T assembler.
Are there any special defines you need to build GAS that maybe I overlooked?
I used the following in CFLAGS : -g -I. -DUSG -DNO_VARARGS -DNON_BROKEN_WORDS
and I linked in the malloc and PW libraries as the Makefile seemed to 
indicate I should.
     2) When I built GCC, I did not use ld.c from binutils or collect.  It
apparently can use the native linker under SysVR3.  Is this OK?
     3) The instructions for building GCC in the file INSTALL indicate in 
step 6 that you need to convert libgcc.a to a GNU-format library before 
going on to stage2.  I got binutils-1.9 and tried this and had all kinds
of problems.  Leaving libgcc.a alone did enable me to finish building GCC.
I can't find anything to indicate if Interactive uses COFF or not, so can
someone please tell me if I need to convert libgcc.a or not?  If you have
to build the programs in binutils-1.9, which defines do you need?  I used
-DUSG -DCOFF_ENCAPSULATE -DPORTAR -DNON_NATIVE -DSYS_SIGLIST_MISSING -Di386.
I also used the AT&T library libPW.a for alloca - was this wise or should I
have used the GNU version?
     4) Are there any special defines you need when building GCC for ISC 3.0
that aren't automagically setup up by configure?
     5) My attempt at building libg++-2.3 failed, perhaps because GCC wasn't
built properly in the first place.  Is there anything I need to watch out
for in building this?
     6) I got 4 warnings when enquire ran, all related to the precision of
a double.  Is this normal under ISC?  I don't know how accurate Intel's
chip is, so I wondered if this might be normal. 
     Again, any assistance I can be given would be greatly appreciated.  If
you post, please direct follow-ups to gnu.gcc.help.

This doesn't make any sense... gcc-lib isn't an equivalent of libg++,
glibc is... and it isn't included either.  Besides, how would packaging
the two together simplify installation?  What you really want is for the
gcc distribution to use the Cygnus GNU-tools directory layout, and that
will presumably happen one of these days.  But they still shouldn't be
packaged in a single tar file... that would be rediculous.
