gcc installation Problem

[Robinson W]

Hi,
I tried installing gcc from source code on HP-UX 11.23(Itanium 2) but returned with errors during "gmake install". The errors are-

/home/robin/gcc-4.2/binutils/install-sh[278]: strip: not found.
gmake[5]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
gmake[4]: *** [install-am] Error 2
gmake[3]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

(Any other directories should still work fine.)

/bin/sh[2]: strip: not found.
gmake: [install] Error 127 (ignored)
/bin/sh[2]: strip: not found.

I downloaded the source file from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-4.2.3/
Kindly help me out. "man strip" is working. Do I need to have the latest patch of ANSI C.
Regards,
Robin.

Hi Robin,

Why not download and install the compiled depot version for 11.23?

Shalom,

The developers fixed the problems you encountered when they built the aforementioned depots.

Why not give them a try.

Why not getting the depot from there?

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-4.2.3/

Did you install all the built-time dependencies?

[Dennis Handly · Accepted solution]

>strip: not found.

The only way this can fail is that you don't have /usr/bin or /usr/ccs/bin in your PATH.
Or you have /usr/bin and you have removed the tlinks.

[Fabien GUTIERREZ]

sounds like your user do not have rights accesses ti install compiled gcc in the / tree

[Robinson W]

Thanks for all ur valuable suggestions.
Previously I have installed the gcc from the depot format but this time I need to install it from the source code.
Dennis, I think the PATH I gave for strip was incorrect. I gave /usr/bin but not /usr/css/bin.
I will try with it and come back again.
I have installed all the dependencies.

[Robinson W]

Thank you Dennis. The main problem with strip was with the PATH. But encountered one more problem. The gmake is returning an error.
I have searched the file named dummy-checksum.c but no trace of it. What should I do? What might be the possible reason for this? Can anyone help me pliz?

Well you could use touch(1) to create it.
Either there is a way to "make" that file or some installation directions missing?

>strip: libstdc++.s?: cannot open

It appears all of these strips can't find those files.

Thanx everyone for giving such a good support especially Dennis. Its done now.

[Robinson W]

thanx...
