Compiling pcc?


Hi list,

I'm trying to install pcc (version 1.0.0) on my Debian computer (AMD64), 
and... it doesn't work :(

I did the usual:

$ cd pcc-libs-1.0.0
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/pcc
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../pcc-1.0.0
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/pcc
$ make
$ make install

but:

$ echo "int main () { return 0; }" >> foo.c
$ pcc foo.c
ld: cannot find /usr/lib64/crt1.o: No such file or directory
ld: cannot find /usr/lib64/crti.o: No such file or directory

So I figured out that I should define the "--with-libdir" option of the 
configure script, which I did:

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/pcc --with-libdir=$HOME/opt/pcc/lib/pcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/1.0.0.RELEASE/lib
$ make
$ make install
(Continue reading)

what you did looks reasonable

don't use 1.0.0 but the latest cvs source
you may want to compile with the -v flag
to see if everything is ok
(with -X you can look at the generated temporary files)
check if environment is ok
try static linking with -static
look at the generated asm and .o (readelf, objdump)
to figure out if it's a linker or code generation issue

Thank you, this simple advice solved it...  It is still necessary to give a
--with-libdir=$HOME/opt/pcc/lib/pcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/1.1.0.DEVEL/lib option to the
configure script, but it seems to work correctly now.

Use Debian stable or older – newer has Multiarch and will not
currently work. It is on my TODO, though.

Also, /usr/lib64 looks bogus.

Well, changing the operating system to install a compiler is not really a solution :)

Indeed.  But compiling after giving the option
--with-libdir=$HOME/opt/pcc/lib/pcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/1.1.0.DEVEL/lib to "configure"
does solve the problem.
