This is not a request of help in building a compiler but it is simply a report on possible problems with the snapshot 20060309 10:35:06.
Recently I have explored the possibility to build GCC 3.4.6 (relased 20060306). After downloading gcc-3.4.6.tar.bz2 and unpacked: configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.4.6 make With the snapshot 20060309 the make process seems to hang at ... configuring in zlib ... updating cache ./config.cache loading cache ./config.cache within ltconfig checking for objdir... .libs checking for gcc option to produce PIC... -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC checking if gcc PIC flag -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC works... yes checking if gcc static flag -static works... yes finding the maximum length of command line arguments... I have waited about 1 hour without that the process continued. Trying CONTROL-C does not work to interrupt it. I should use task manager and restart the PC. After many tries I have reinstalled the Cygwin 1.5.19-4 and now the finding the maximum length of command line arguments... point is passed in a few seconds (1 or 2). the build does not seem to have problems (successively I have interruped it with CTRL-C to write this report). The system is W2K SP4. I have all cygwin packages installed and updated without any cygwin service running. I have the cyg-drive prefix mounted to '/'. Obviously: -------------------- $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125) ... -------------------- Cheers, Angelo. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
