RE: compiling GPC on HP-UX - Gpc

17 Jan 2000


      Well, I couldnÂ’t get gnu ld; binutils-2.9.1 package (from HPÂ’s site) had
Â“ldÂ” missing.
I fetched the source of binutils-2.9.1 and tried to build it myself with no
luck.
The configure script complained that Â“this configuration Â…. had problem
building ldÂ”.
So, IÂ’m still stuck with getting gnu ld before I can build gpc :-(

It was the case with older gcc's that the GNU assembler and loader
were
    required instead of HP's on HPUX. I haven't looked at 2.95 yet, so I
don't
    know if theis is still true with "post-reunification" gcc. If I
recall,
    2.7.2 still required gas.
