I am trying to build GNU g++ on a Sun 4/370, but I got the following error message: make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `cplus-tab.h' I checked the directory, file `cplus-tab.h' is not there. Would somebody please send me this file, or the problem is somewhere else. The installation instruction is not clear. We are running SunOS-4.0.3, and I have installed gcc already. I also tried both the alpha and beta versions of g++. Any help will be greatly appreciated. --

Evidently you weren't attempting to build from an official version of g++, but were trying to make one of the beta-test versions from labrea.stanford.edu. I recommend that you stick to the official versions unless you've had some experience with installing g++; the beta versions haven't been cleaned up. (That's why people do beta versions, to allow others to help shake out bugs). Get version 1.37.1 of g++ from one of the many sites that have it (prep.ai.mit.edu, for example). There's in error in the makefile for the labrea versions -- you need to give bison the '-d' flag; it will then build cplus-tab.h. -- Joe Buck jbuck@galileo.berkeley.edu {uunet,ucbvax}!galileo.berkeley.edu!jbuck
