Thanks guys. I see that bochs is already there with Ubuntu but since I need to enable debugging options I need to compile it from its source. I am trying to compile gcc-3.3.3 in order to compile bochs using that. I am again working on Fedora Core 10 since I was not getting compiled any version of gcc on Ubuntu. On Fedora Core 10, I have got gcc-4.3.2 which I am using to compile gcc-3.3.3 but I am getting compilation error listed below:
------------- gcc -c -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -I. -I. -I. -I./. -I./config -I./../include ./read-rtl.c -o read-rtl.o In file included from ./read-rtl.c:25: ./rtl.h:132: warning: type of bit-field 'code' is a GCC extension ./rtl.h:135: warning: type of bit-field 'mode' is a GCC extension ./read-rtl.c: In function 'fatal_with_file_and_line': ./read-rtl.c:53: warning: traditional C rejects ISO C style function definitions ./read-rtl.c: In function 'read_rtx': ./read-rtl.c:653: error: lvalue required as increment operand gmake[1]: *** [read-rtl.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/arvind/OperatingSystemEngineering/toolchain/gcc-3.3.3/gcc' gmake: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 ------------- What could be wrong and what should I do to build gcc-3.3.3?
