When I do a gmake bootstrap of GCC 4.1.1 the component fastjar is asking for makeinfo and it stop the compiling.
The documentation says I shouldn't have to install the texinfo package. I am working on a SunFire V440 with Solaris 9 I did set the CONFIG_SHELL to /bin/ksh and I am working in a directory gcc-obj wich is different from the source dir. I am using /usr/ccs/bin/ld and /usr/ccs/bin/as but I know it does the same thing with the gnu component. There is no binutils installed on this system but I got the same problem with a system with binutils 2.16.1 gmake[3]: Entering directory `/opt/local/src/gcc-obj/fastjar' gmake "AR_FLAGS=rc" "CC_FOR_BUILD=gcc" "CFLAGS=-g -O2 " "CXXFLAGS=-g -O2" "CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD=-g -O2 " "CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-O2 -g -O2 " "INSTALL=/opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/install-sh -c" "INSTALL_DATA=/opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/install-sh -c -m 644" "INSTALL_PROGRAM=/opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/install-sh -c" "INSTALL_SCRIPT=/opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/install-sh -c" "JC1FLAGS=" "LDFLAGS=" "LIBCFLAGS=-g -O2 " "LIBCFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-O2 -g -O2 " "MAKE=gmake" "MAKEINFO=/opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 " "PICFLAG=" "PICFLAG_FOR_TARGET=" "SHELL=/bin/ksh" "exec_prefix=/usr/local" "infodir=/usr/local/info" "libdir=/usr/local/lib" "prefix=/usr/local" "AR=ar" "AS=as" "CC=gcc" "CXX=c++" "LD=/usr/ccs/bin/ld" "LIBCFLAGS=-g -O2 " "NM=nm" "PICFLAG=" "RANLIB=ranlib" "DESTDIR=" all-am gmake[4]: Entering directory `/opt/local/src/gcc-obj/fastjar' (echo "@set version-GCC 4.1.1"; \ if [ "" = "experimental" ]; \ then echo "@set DEVELOPMENT"; \ else echo "@clear DEVELOPMENT"; \ fi) > gcc-vers.texiT mv -f gcc-vers.texiT gcc-vers.texi restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \ rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \ for f in fastjar.info fastjar.info-[0-9] fastjar.info-[0-9][0-9] fastjar.i[0-9] fastjar.i[0-9][0-9]; do \ if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \ done; \ if /opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 -I /opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/fastjar/../gcc/doc/include -I /opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/fastjar \ -o fastjar.info `test -f 'fastjar.texi' || echo '/opt/local/src/gcc-4.1.1/fastjar/'`fastjar.texi; \ then \ rc=0; \ else \ rc=$?; \ $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./fastjar.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \ fi; \ rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site. gmake[4]: *** [fastjar.info] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/src/gcc-obj/fastjar' gmake[3]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/src/gcc-obj/fastjar' gmake[2]: *** [all-fastjar] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/src/gcc-obj' gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/src/gcc-obj' gmake: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 Thanks in advance -- Summary: fastjar is asking for makeinfp in gmake bootstrap Product: gcc Version: 4.1.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fastjar AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: william-paul dot philibert at telus dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27822
