Why does these libraries fail? For example a microcontroller do not need to have any kind of standard C-Library files or its header files. So it is not possible to build e.g. zlib or libiberty for this target platforms. Additional I might to take a decision not to build this library, even if it is possible to build it. The build process failed here. I meant how does it fail?
>For example a microcontroller do not need to have any kind of standard C-Library files or its header files.
I don't think that is true. Most targets even microcontrollers one have a standard C library.
Also how are you configuring GCC? If you really only want GCC and libgcc, the easiest way to do that is:
make all-gcc && make all-target-libgcc
make install-gcc && make install-target-libgcc
The original failing process was:
../../env/src/configure --prefix=${HOME}/local --with-mpc=${HOME}/local --with-mpfr=${HOME}/local --with-gmp=${HOME}/local --with-ppl=${HOME}/local --with-cloog=${HOME}/local --with-libelf=${HOME}/local --target=arm-elf-eabi --enable-target-optspace --disable-nls --disable-werror --enable-target-static --disable-target-shared --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-float=soft --without-headers --enable-multilib --enable-tls --enable-lto --with-libexpat-prefix=/usr/local --with-expat=/usr/local --with-python=/usr/local --enable-gold --enable-ld

As far as I could see you (by meaning GCC) disabling target-libiberty at specific systems like netbsd rtems vxworks or specific machine types like avr, m68hc11, too.
I was able to build a cross compiler (without having a target libc) this way at least for version 4.4.3 and 4.5.2 .
Don't get me wrong. Building of target-libiberty and target-zlib per default can be usefull. Only for special cases it should be possible to change this behavior.
>--enable-languages=c,c++
Where you really able to build libstdc++ without libc? I doubt that. Try just enabling C first and then build newlib. Or are you building a combined compiler?
Since I did not need to have libc I also did not need to have libstdc++-v3, too. Also I did not need to have libgomp, libmudflap, libffi, libssp, libquadmath, boehm-gc .. But this is not a real problem. As long as those directories are not present in the source directory there was no try to generate these target libraries. So all these libraries are never build for the target I used. (At some platforms like avr, building of target-libstdc++ is disabled per default) There is always a lot of hand work before gcc can be build. Collecting the required gmp, mpfr, mpc, libelf, binutils etc. installing or merging parts into the source tree. Ah, also I did not use rda, gprof, sid, cgen, utils, libgloss, newlib, ... So removing of unneeded directories did not hurt. How ever, it would be nice if those target libraries can be disabled per switch, too, but this would be an other feature request and it is not this bug. Here the major problem is, libiberty and zlib is required by gcc itself. And so those directories can not be simply removed. It should generally work to pass --disable-target-zlib, and similar for other target directories, as workarounds. If it doesn't work, that's worth a bug report (please open a separate one in that case, and link from this one). Thanks. Exactly this is the current problem, there is neither a working switch like --disable-target-zlib nor a working --disable-target-libiberty. (sorry if confusing you by using of "without" instead of "disable", but this was only an example.) > have libstdc++-v3, too.
Then you cannot use the C++ compiler really. So why compile it?
If you can't imagine how to get a usable C++ compiler without libstdc++-v3 (and libc), please stop wasting your time in thinking about it. Here is no C++ problem at all. If it helps you, think the C compiler will be build with --enable-languages=c switch instead. Assume there will be no libc for the target architecture. Especially there is no malloc or free, nor any kind of the other useful toys. How ever, there will be functions doing similar things, but with different names and different interfaces. In this situation it is currently impossible for gcc to build the target-zlib or the target-libiberty library. Again, in 4.6 the generation of those libraries is now enabled per default (previously disabled per default). On most targets this might make sense, but there must be a way to disable the generation of those libraries, too. If you think there is already such a mechanism, then this mechanism did not work. The automatic enabling of zlib was turned on by revision 152434, a merge of the lto branch. It seems you can use --disable-lto or --with-system-zlib to disable a target zlib from being built. Haven't looked at libiberty yet. I do not believe any component of the GCC or src tree uses a target libiberty. Thus, I do not think such a target libiberty should be built or installed by default. I also think host libiberty should not be installed by default, but that's a separate matter. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-03/msg00012.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-12/msg01231.html Author: hp Date: Wed Jun 22 20:17:47 2011 New Revision: 175307 URL: http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?root=gcc&view=rev&rev=175307 Log: PR regression/47836 PR bootstrap/23656 PR other/47733 PR bootstrap/49247 * configure.ac (target_libraries): Remove target-libiberty.

And zlib as a target library is only built when building with java and java support needs a full C library anyways. So this is not really a bug and closing as such. |
