gcc to aCC

[krishn]

Hi,
I have to build binutils tool in hp-ux system using aCC compiler.
In the Makefile it is exicuted using gcc like

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.././binutils -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I.././binutils -I../
bfd -I.././binutils/../bfd -I.././binutils/../include -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -I./../
intl -DLOCALEDIR="\"/home/srikrish/sharma/binutils/binutilsTarget/share/locale\"" -
Dbin_dummy_emulation=bin_vanilla_emulation -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -W -Wall -Wstric
t-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -g -O2 -c objcopy.c

this works fine.But i want to work in aCC

I changed gcc to aCC . but i got errors like

aCC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.././binutils -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I.././binutils -I../
bfd -I.././binutils/../bfd -I.././binutils/../include -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -I./../
intl -DLOCALEDIR="\"/home/srikrish/sharma/binutils/binutilsTarget/share/locale\"" -
Dbin_dummy_emulation=bin_vanilla_emulation -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -W -Wall -Wstric
t-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -g -O2 -c size.c
aCC: error 1914: bad form for `-W' option
gmake[2]: *** [size.o] Error 1.


If i remove the -W (Warnig options) then it gives some errors like Undifind symblols etc.....

plz help me to give aCC in Makefile.

What OS version and what version of aC++ do you have?

You should also add -Ae to switch to C mode. And you'll need to remove all foreign devil gcc options. Or configure binutils to build with aCC. One simple way to do that is tell config that your C compiler is an absolute path of some script called cc. Then in that dummy cc script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
eval aCC -Ae "$@"

>then it gives some errors like Undefined symbols etc.

Because binutils code is likely broken and isn't fully prototyped.

Is there any reason you didn't try to specify
the compiler the _right_ way, namely at
"configure" time? "./configure --help":

[...]
Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
[...]


For example:

CC=cc ./configure

Or, try reading README?

Hi,
hp-ux os version : 11.23i.
aCC version : aCC: HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.17 [Mar 4 2008].

Now i tried CC=cc ./configure.
it sucessfuly configured.
But wlile giving gmake cmd i got the error like :

"elflink.c", line 11826: warning #4232-D: conversion from
"struct bfd_link_hash_table *" to a more strictly aligned type
"struct elf_link_hash_table *" may cause misaligned access

Can u help me to solve this problem ?

A "warning" stopped it? Or was there an
actual "error", too?

If you have A.06.17, you have the corresponding C compiler in /opt/aCC/bin/cc. You're now using it.

Exactly, where is the error?
