To whom it may concern: I am attempting to install gcc version 1.36.0 onto an SGI Iris 4D/80 workstation running IRIX System V Release 4D1-3.147. I use the command: config.gcc iris to generate the links to the various files. I then modify the Makefile to use the line ALLOCA = alloca.c (but I do not change the INSTALL statement as the Iris does have the install command). When I type "make", everything makes OK (except that there are three warnings about assigning incompatible pointer types), but then when I use the statement: make CC=stage1/gcc CFLAGS="-O -Bstage1/" (note that I omit the -g flag as it is not supported for the MIPS chip). When the re-compile via GCC gets to the line: stage1/gcc -O -Bstage1/ -I. -I. -I./config -c insn-peep.c my whole workstation hangs, and error messages start appearing in the console window, of the type: ips0d0s0: error csr=0x4040 bn=16992 statcode=83 recovered, errorcode=0x1 (Unfortunately, my sysadmin person does not have any idea what this means). This message will keep repeating until I kill the GCC compile by repeating typing cntrl-C. Another symptom is that the disk is in continuous motion and all other processes slow down so much as to be at a dead stop. If you have any ideas on how to resolve this, we would greatly appreciate it. Our ultimate goal is to install g++, but of course, we must take it one step at a time. Thank you for any guidance, Phil Morris -------- Phil Morris (pmorris@dgi0.bbn.com) Disclaimer: ME? I'm only a non-smoking cat; can't believe a word I meow.
