Building GCC on Ubuntu Failing?

+1 vote
1,182 views

My system is ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit and I've installed build-essential. Also tried purge and reinstall libc6-dev. Doesn't work.

from /home/xxx/gcc-4.8.2-build/../gcc-4.8.2/libgcc/libgcov.c:27:
/usr/include/features.h:374:25: fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory

I think you need to install libc6-dev-i386

trouble building gcc 4.7.2 w/binutils 2.23.1

I'm trying to build GCC 4.7.2 with binutils 2.23.1 and am getting a compile error:

dwarf.o: In function get_TAG_name': /w/umoszkow/gcc/x86_64/binutils/../../gcc-4.7.2/binutils/dwarf.c:662: undefined reference toget_DW_TAG_name'
dwarf.o: In function get_FORM_name': /w/umoszkow/gcc/x86_64/binutils/../../gcc-4.7.2/binutils/dwarf.c:678: undefined reference toget_DW_FORM_name' dwarf.o: In function get_AT_name': /w/umoszkow/gcc/x86_64/binutils/../../gcc-4.7.2/binutils/dwarf.c:1867: undefined reference toget_DW_AT_name'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Any idea how to get around this build problem? My arch is x86_64 and my OS is RHEL4u8WS.

OpenACC problems on GCC

Currently I compile gcc version 6.2.1 20161117 and I'm running very simple code that use 32 gangs,

I compile it with gcc -fopenacc -o3 -o piexample.x piexample.c with the following env.

export GOMP_DEBUG=1
export ACC_DEVICE_TYPE=nvidia

The problem is that anyone number of gangs that i use, the result is always the same: only 1 gang.

GOACC_parallel_keyed: mapnum=1, hostaddrs=0x7fffc872dff0, size=0x6012c0, kinds=0x6012b8
nvptx_exec: prepare mappings
nvptx_exec: kernel main$_omp_fn$0: launch gangs=1, workers=1, vectors=32
nvptx_exec: kernel main$_omp_fn$0: finished
GOACC_data_end: restore mappings
GOACC_data_end: mappings restored

If compile it with PGI compiler the number of gangs is setter correctly,

main:
12, Generating copy(pi)
14, Loop is parallelizable
Accelerator kernel generated
Generating Tesla code
14, #pragma acc loop gang(32), worker(8), vector(8) /*blockIdx.x threadIdx.y threadIdx.x */
16, Generating implicit reduction(+:pi)

Some ideas about the problem ?

Installing GCC on Windows Environment (WIN 8)

Last time I asked GCC installation and it was very helpful. Can someone point me how to achieve it on Windows?

Compiling GCC for different machine on same Architecture

We are trying to build our code base for CentOS 7 machine with x86_64 architecture on CentOS6 with x86_64.

For that we are trying to build a centos7 Toolchain. All the gcc/ld/ar should be statically linked, so that we are ensuring that it will not uses any native centos6 stuff.

In this process, we are able to generate statically linked GCC/AR/LD. But problem was this GCC not generating a statically linked binaries and fails while checking flags during configure at "checking static
flag -static ". Due to this while running those binaries it refers to native libgcc and fails.

We are using the below command for configure.

../gcc../configure -prefix=/mnt/data0/toolchain-vm-temp2 --build=x86_64-CentOS7-linux-gnu-with sysroot=/mnt/data0/tools/gnutools/toolchain-vm --disable-nls --disable-multilib --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-sim --enable-symvers=gnu --enable__cxa_atexit --enable-lto --with-gnu-ld --enable-static

Can Anyone provide solution or how to achieve this task.

GCC Build Error on 32bit RadHat?

I am building gcc 4.8.1 in a Red Hat 6.4 64 bit machine. I am building gnat first and it is build as 32 bit i686 architecture. I used gnat-gpl-2013-i686-pc-linux-gnu-bin for gnat and it created a 32 bit gcc in the directory, I set the path to that so, gcc is now gcc 4.7.4 from /gnat/bin/gcc. When I checked that is 32 bit gcc.

I used this configuration

./gcc-4.8.1/configure --disable-multilib --disable-bootstrap
--disable-install-libiberty --with-system-zlib --enable-clocale=gnu
--enable-shared --enable-lto --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,java,ada --prefix=/usr/local/ CFLAGS="-pipe
-march=native -mtune=native -g -O2" CXXFLAGS="-pipe -march=native
-mtune=native -g -O2"

I was able to build the compiler with this configuration and arch is x86_64.

when I tried to compile a file with -m32 option it didn't work and got the error message 

crtbegin.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format.
Collect2: kd returned 1 exit status
