Your error message indicates that bin_dummy_emulation is bad. Your makefile output seems to have this: -Dbin_dummy_emulation
This sets bin_dummy_emulation to "1", not a valid name for an object that's a struct.

Hi,
what about installing depot of gcc, which contains binutils.

Try this one.
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-4.2.3/

Best regards,

but the same code is working fine with 11vi1 and 11v2i

>but the same code is working fine with 11i v1 and 11i v2

There were massive changes in the system headers for 11.31 for UNIX 2003 branding and C99.

[NagarajSG]

so tell me what are the changes i need to do to work this code currectly

You'll need to debug your config script to see why -Dbin_dummy_emulation= is being set.

>This sets bin_dummy_emulation to "1"

Oops, since there was a "=", it is replaced by an empty string.

My configure and make seem to be going OK. After configure I looked at binutils/Makefile and it has

EMULATION_VECTOR = bin_vanilla_emulation

and later

-Dbin_dummy_emulation=$(EMULATION_VECTOR)

Are these lines in your Makefile? (Not the top level makefile but the one below it in the binutils directory.

Also, are you using the right make? I think you need to use gnu Make and not the standard HP make.

[NagarajSG]

My configure and make seem to be going OK. After configure I looked at binutils/Makefile and it has

EMULATION_VECTOR =
is not set to bin_vanilla_emulation

and
-Dbin_dummy_emulation=$(EMULATION_VECTOR)

is setting properly
i am using gnu make 3.81 version.

What options, if any, are you passing to configure? Are you using --host, --target, or --build options on the configure call? Or perhaps the --enable-targets option? An illegal target name is the only way I can see that EMULATION_VECTOR would get set to nothing.
