RE: can't for daemon problem with gcc/gcj compiled program

["Knight, Lloyd" <Lloyd dot Knight at adc dot com>]

per tom's suggestion, i have downloaded gcc-4.1.2 and extracted the tar
ball.
at that directory, i created a directory objdir.
in objdir i ran configure:
../gcc-4.1.2/configure --prefix=/new/dir --enable-shared
--with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
--enable-languages=c,c++,java

then in objdir i ran gmake.
here is the error:

Making all in classpath
gmake[5]: Entering directory
`/opt/gcc412/objdir/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/sparcv9/libjava/classpath'

line 445 of the makefile is:
sinclude:	$(JAVA_DEPEND)

please pardon if this is the wrong group for fielding gcc compile
issues.
i posted here because i gathered the recommended solution to my original
issue 
was to upgrade to a newer version of gcc.  
any suggestions?

thanks
lloyd

GCC 3.4.6 is rather old.  Why not use a newer version?

You could try 'make check' in the GC build directory.  That is a basic
GC smoke test.

But even if it fails there's really nothing we can do to help you.
3.4.x is closed.  We've done GC imports since then, so upgrading might
help.  (I am not a Solaris user so I can't say for certain.)
