I am trying to build a gcc-4.9.0 on solaris 10 sparc.

gmp was successfully built and install at

/application/gmp-6.0.0a 

mpfr was also successfully built and install at

/application/mpfr-3.1.2

mpc was install at

/application/mpc-1.0.2 

Then in the application directory I have a sub directory called gcc-4.9.0 which also contains src and src contains objdir. The extracted gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz was moved to the src directory. The structure looks like this

/application
 - /gcc-4.9.0
 -/ src 
 - /objdir
 - /gcc-4.9.0 // The extracted gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz

The I configured it like this

 cd /application/gcc-4.9.0/src/objdir
 # ../configure --build=sparc-sun-solaris2.10
 --with-gmp=/application/gmp-6.0.0a 
 --with-mpfr=/application/mpfr-3.1.2 
 --with-mpc=/application/mpc-1.0.2 
 --with-gnu-as 
 --with-gnu-ld 
 --enable-shared 
 --disable-nls 
 --enable-languages=c,c++,objc 
 --prefix=/application/gcc-4.9.0 

The configure was successful and make file was created

The I ran

gmake 

Unfortunately, this ran for several minutes but terminated with this error

configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile
See `config.log' for more details

Unfortunately,config.log does not contain a comprehensive message.

I have been on this for weeks. Please how do I resolve this?

The config.log contents are :

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by GNU C Runtime Library configure 1.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64. Invocation command line was

configure: exit 1

I was able to successfully build gcc-4.9.0 .
from this question : https://stackoverflow.com/q/11502045/1363169 ; I saw this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/16215539/1363169 which was particularly useful to this solution.

Below are the steps taken

1. Download the required files .
To build gcc, three dependencies are required:

a. GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) - I used gmp-6.0.0

b. GNU Multiple Precision Floating-Point Reliably (MPFR) - I used mpfr-3.1.2

c. GNU MPC - mpc-1.0.2 was used.

All these can be downloaded from here : https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ , you can also download gcc from one of its mirror sites here https://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html

2. Declare your variables

 gccver=4.9.0

 gmpver=6.0.0

 mpfrver=3.1.2

 mpcver=1.0.2

 # where you downloaded source packages

 pkgdir=$HOME

 # where gcc will be built
 rootdir=$HOME/gcc-tmp


 # where gcc will be installed 
 prefix=/opt/gcc-$gccver

 # the languages you want gcc to support
 langs=c,c++

3. Create a new directory where you want to keep the sources and extract the sources there

 mkdir $rootdir

 cd $rootdir


 gzip -dc $pkgdir/gcc-$gccver.tar.gz | tar xvf - 
 gzip -dc $pkgdir/gcc-$gmpver.tar.gz | tar xvf - 
 gzip -dc $pkgdir/gcc-$mpfrver.tar.gz | tar xvf - 
 gzip -dc $pkgdir/gcc-$mpcver.tar.gz | tar xvf - 

NOTE: if you have a problem like checksum error while extracting the file, refer to : How to correctly extract a .tar.gz with md5.sum on solaris 10 for solutions.

4. Now, move the extracted sources into the gcc source directory

 mv gmp-$gmpver gcc-$gccver/gmp

 mv mpfr-$mpfrver gcc-$gccver/mpfr

 mv mpc-$mpcver gcc-$gccver/mpc

5. Create a build directory and change to it

 mkdir objdir

 cd objdir

6. Now configure the gcc:

 $rootdir/gcc-$gccver/configure --prefix=$prefix --enable-languages=$langs

7. Then, build the gcc

 gmake 

8. Finally, Install the gcc:

 gmake install

That is it!

Though gcc.4.9.0 was built, the step can be followed to build other versions too.

You may want to test your newly installed gcc to see if it works or not, here is how:

Create a simple hello.c file like this

#include <stdio.h>

int
main (void)

 printf ("Hello, world!n");
 return 0;

then from the terminal use

 /opt//opt/gcc-4.9.0/bin/gcc hello.c -o hello

You should see hello filed created in the same directory as hello.c

The log file claims that you called configure with the instruction to bind to the GNU mp library that is non-standard and thus not present on your system.

Did you do that at all?

Did you do this intentionally?
