[parisc-linux] Building bin-utils and gcc on HP735...

[BOSCHINI]

Hello, 

first of all, compliments for the project.
I started some days ago trying to install parisc-linux on a 735 box. 
I started using gcc-2.95.2 and the corresponding binutils, as downloaded from 
http://hpux.tn.tudelft.nl/

Then, realisng a needed the parisc includes from the puffin, I re-started from
scratch. As sson as I start building, both with HP Ansi C compiler as well with
gcc 2.95, the binutils, I get an error about not finding bison

Making all in po
        /bin/sh /TMP/binutils/binutils/../ylwrap "`if [ -f ../bison/bison ] ;
then echo ../bison/bison -y -L/TMP/binutils/binutils/../bison/ ; else echo
bison -y ; fi`" /TMP/binutils/binutils/arparse.y y.tab.c arparse.c y.tab.h
arparse.h --  -d
/TMP/binutils/binutils/../ylwrap[86]: bison:  not found.
*** Error exit code 1

So, i decided to try building the puffin gcc using my old bin-utils, but,
obviously, make dies as soon as bison is required.

Do I need to install bIson first of building binutils and gcc ?

I have another question as well, is FDDI supported ? 

My box is on FDDI so I'd like to know it.

Anyway, thanks in advance and again, compliments for the great job !!!!

That's correct, you need bison.  Would someone like to volunteer to make
a bison .depot available from pehc?  It should build properly on HPUX;
we certainly have a binary which works here, but I think it needs to be
packaged properly...

There's one (1.28) at http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca if that's good
enough...

There's a binary package for HP-UX 11.0 in

    ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/depot/11.0/

(It's totally untested.  Please let me know if there are problems.)

I'll build a 10.20 package as soon as I get home and can reboot my
box...

There's an equally untested bison package for 10.20 at

    ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/depot/10.20/

Feel free to let me know if there are any problems with it.

My guess is your build problems are still based on using some of the
HP tools instead of the GNU ones.  Some things to check:

    when your build asks for 'sh' it should get 'bash'

    when your build asks for 'make' it should get gnu make

    flex and bison you already know about.

Aliases aren't passed through makefiles and often not through shell
scripts either, so you'll have to do this with $PATH magic and/or
symbolic links.  I built/installed bash, make, flex, bison, binutils,
gcc, and a bunch of other GNU tools (ls, find, tar, gzip, patch) into
/opt/puffin and put /opt/puffin/bin first in my $PATH.

Your difficulties building palo strongly indicate that HP make is
sometimes being used.  palo/palo/Makefile and palo/ipl/Makefile
will work with either HP make or GNU make, but palo/Makefile will
only work with GNU make.  When you do 'make palo' from linux-2.3,
the master make eventually does 'cd ../palo; make lifimage', and
it appears that perhaps this invocation of make is getting the HP one.

Sooner or later it is probably a good idea to start using GNU versions
of all the tools referenced in the makefiles and scripts if you have
the space to do so.

Happy building!

I should note that there are HP-UX 10.20 and 11.0 binary depot
packages of many GNU utilities at

    ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/depot/

Everything installs to /usr/local/bin, so you can just put that at the
beginning of your PATH, and everything should be happy.  (Oh, before
installing any of it, you might want to "chmod -R go-w /usr/local".
The default permissions are insane.)

Feel free to send requests for other stuff.  (I'll try to start
building packages for the CVS gcc, binutils, etc. sometime soon.  I'm
still recovering from switching jobs and a move, so I'm way behind on
everything...)

Hello all, 

I installed bison and then flex (also needed) but still binutils make dies with
a strange (at leat to me) yacc error:

lex  /TMP/binutils/ld/ldlex.l && mv lex.yy.c ldlex.c
"/TMP/binutils/ld/ldlex.l" line 303: error 3: Parse tree too big, Try using %e
num
1000/1000 nodes(%e), 0/2500 positions(%p), 1/500 (%n), 0 transitions, 0/1000
packed char classes(%k), 0/4000 packed transitions(%a), 0/5000 output slots(%o)
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1


Nevertheless, being the impatient chap that I am, I stil ltried to buil
gg-latest, which,in turn, dies with an as error:

_muldi3

and so forth untill maximu error count is reached.....

are the two related ? 
or is it just me doing something very stupid ?

thanks in advance, 

matteo

You need to rerun the configure script once you've installed flex; you're
still picking up HPUX lex.
