I tried to build binutils 2.8.1 from the sources in bnu281s.zip from a simtel.net mirror. First problem: configure.bat have probelms applying the patches: "bash$ cd hackery/binutils2.81.another_one/gnu/binutl-2.81/ bash$ ./configure.bat Applying DJGPP specific patches ... can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- binutils/nlmconv.c~ Wed Apr 30 18:59:12 1997 |+++ binutils/nlmconv.c Sat Jun 28 21:39:44 1997 -------------------------- File to patch: 1111 Skip this patch? [y] Skipping patch. 3 out of 3 hunks ignored" (I entered 1111 and a lot of C-cs to stop it). Totally confused I let it rest for a day or so, then I ran "./configure.bat |tee configure.bat.log" to save the result for mailing to you. Now it worked! Something is wrong somewhere. Do you have any ideas? Perhaps this should be asked on DJGPP-WORKERS? If you think so, please forward this mail. Second problem: make fails (I'm running it in emacs): "gcc -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I. -I./../include -O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer i386aout.c if [ -n "" ]; then \ gcc -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I. -I./../include -O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer aout32.c -o pic/aout32.o; \ else true; fi gcc -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I. -I./../include -O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer aout32.c make.exe[1]: *** No rule to make target `i386msdos.c', needed by `i386msdos.o'. Stop. make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `f:/hackery/binutils2.81/gnu/binutl-2.81/bfd' make.exe: *** [all-bfd] Error 2 Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Sat Nov 6 14:40:18 " What should I do now? Third problem: strange link message while building binutils 2.9.1: Well, there's nothing stopping me now, I thought, let's go for binutils 2.9.1. It seems to make correctly, but I get these strange messages from the make process (the first two): "gcc -g -o size size.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a f:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: size: warning: .text: line number overflow: 0x16f8b > 0xffff" and "gcc -g -o objdump objdump.o prdbg.o rddbg.o debug.o stabs.o ieee.o rdcoff.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o ../opcodes/.libs/libopcodes.a ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a f:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: objdump: warning: .text: line number overflow: 0x1b314 > 0xffff" There are a total of 16 of such warnings. Are they be taken as "comiplation failed" or are they harmless? What do they mean (if you know)? Thanks! U2, The Unforgettable Fire, MartinS
