Hi,

I'm trying to install the GNU toolchains from source on Ubuntu 13.04.

After running: ./bld-all.sh with the right options I get:

Is there anyone who can help me with this ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Cheers, Tobias

Tobias - is there anything more in the log file? Search backwards for the string "error:"


Jeremy

Jeremy - thanks for trying to help.

Nope, no Error reported earlier.

Looks like I failed with x86 pre-build, x86 build on cygwin, Ubuntu pre-build (can't find library) and now on Ubuntu build as well. Not really lucky.

Cheers, Tobias

I can only guess since you are not posting the actual error.
But there is an incompatibility problem with the texinfo package
in newer Linux distribution that is incompatible with the old or32
toolchain.

Hi stekern,

"you are not posting the actual error". Unfort. I don't have more information than that � I guess.

Incompatible problems ??? Sounds great �

Cheers, Tobias

You can try the or1k toolchain, that doesn't have that problem.

Hi all
I'm trying to install the GNU toolchains from source on Ubuntu 13.10 (64bits) and i get the same error as Tobias, is there any solution?
if this error is due to the incompatibility problem with new version of ubuntu, witch version is suitable to build the toolchains without any error? is there any difference between 32 and 64 bits?

thank you all

The or1k toolchain could be built on both 32-bit and 64-bit linux .I successfully built it on both Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit, Ubuntu 13.10 and Fedora 19 64-bit). The problem in this thread is tobil didn't quote where the program show the error so I can't guess exactly what error is that. Based on my experience with it, I think this error is the most possible: - #Scroll up and find these lines or something that has colophon or cygnus bfd.texinfo: unknown command `colophon'
bfd.texinfo: unknown command `cygnus'
The only way that I know to solve this is to install or1k toolchain from development version because in recent versions, this error has been fixed. Read the wiki for more information.

Hi, meitoku:
I've the same problem on ubuntu/14.04.1, when I try to build "or32" tool chain.(Before that, I've compile/installed teh or1ksim already). Actually, when I sroll up and found the information as you said:
../../../unisrc/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo:326: unknown command `colophon'
../../../unisrc/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo:337: unknown command `cygnus'
make[2]: *** [bfd.info] Error 1
===================================================

Andy body know how to solve it?
The reason we want to use "Or32" toolchain is that we think "orpsocv2" project is stable and could by use as reference for study. While in this project, the toolchain are "Or32".
Is there method switch toolchain to "or1k" for project "orpsocv2"?

Thanks!
