I have written a little How To on compiling the gcc 3.4.1:

Nice page.

I notice that you use the "freshly" built compiler to build itself again
since you don't like the 3.3 series.

Normally when I do a GNAT or GCC build I just to a make bootstrap
(And for some reason on 3.4.0 I also had do to the old cd gcc; make
gnatlib_and_tools even though it did
not show up in the docs).

In any case, a normal gcc bootstrap build does use the new compiler to
compile itself..(along with
some checking to make sure things make sense)

Finally, the directions you posted are somewhat Linux specific (as you
indicate within the page but not really at the top)..

While the basic approach is correct for most hosts, I would not (normally)
recommend using GNU
 ld and as on a Solaris hosted machine.

Ah, interesting.

But I have not got a Solaris mashine. Maybe you like to copy my doc and make
a Solaris How-To. We could collect them all on one webside (maybe
adaworld).

Not a bad idea. 3.4.1 is just about out (CVS frozen)...So I'll try to do a
fresh 3.4.1 Sparc Solaris build this weekend and see if there are any
problems.

I suspect we can do one document. There really are not a lot of
differences..

Should I move the Doc to the sourceforce cvs then so you can edit it?
(Currently I allready misuse the the gnat-asis project for a forum on
installing gcc 3.4.1)

BTW: I plan to extend to doc to include all the libs which I use.

Hello

When I make all step in the How To it doesn't build the ada support for gcc.
I have gcc 3.3.3 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6) and GNAT 3.15p installed.

What compiler do you use to build ada support for gcc ?

thanks,

Well there is allways the infamous:

make -C gcc gnatlib_and_tools

But I don't usually call that any more. Tell me if it worked and I change
the doc.

No it doesn't work too, the rule doesn't exist.

Did you build it or get it from binaries ? because when I have tried to
build gnat on gcc 3.3 I can't compile all the tools.

You must have made a mistake. I tried it this morning the the rule is there.
As alternative you can try (from you build directory):

cd gcc
make gnatlib_and_tools

All SuSE  Professional Editions come with GNAT. And the 3.3.x versions all
need "make -C gcc gnatlib_and_tools".

Has anyone built GCC 3.4 for Windows running Services for Unix (Interix), the 
free POSIX environment?

The rules realy doesn't exits in my build dir in subdirectory gcc. I didn't
have either a gcc/ada directory. Maybe it is because gcc-3.4.1 ada support
can't be build from gnat 3.15 (based on gcc 2.xx). 

I will try to compile before the support for an older version, 3.3.x,
before.

It is because ada/Make-lang.in is not included in gcc/Makefile, 
but for the moment I don't know why?

I built gcc 3.3.1 for compiling 3.4.1 and it works well.

..I spent some time this weekend updating my Solaris build of GCC to use
3.4.1 (was doing 3.4)..
Looks like for the 3.4 series compilers the make gnatlib_and_tools in the
gcc directory still is the appropriate
way to build the libraries and tools like gnatmake for a bootstrap build
(i.e. I do a make boostrap followed by
a cd gcc ; make gnatlib_and_tools)

For non bootstrap builds (as described on your site) does it really build
those tools for you without this
extra command for non-bootstrap builds with the 3.4.X series compilers?
