Re: ld fails to build for target




Since the error message that you get from configure.tgt show that it does not recognise "e1-coff" it follows that this translation from "e1-coff" into "e1-unknown-coff" is not being performed. You need to check what is happening in the ld/configure script around these lines:


    # Canonicalize the secondary target names.
    result=`$ac_config_sub $targ_alias 2>/dev/null`
    if test -n "$result"; then
targ=$result
    else
targ=$targ_alias
    fi

. ${srcdir}/configure.tgt


I have found the part in my configure file, dough it looks a little bit different


   # Canonicalize the secondary target names.
   result=`${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} $ac_config_sub $targ_alias 2>/dev/null`
   if test -n "$result"; then
targ=$result
   else
targ=$targ_alias
   fi

. ${srcdir}/configure.tgt

obviously it must end up in the else branch (targ=$targ_alias) as you already said. Now I have to figure out why this happens.
Thanks for your help.



Hi,


It turnd out that
${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} evaluates to /bin/sh
and
$ac_config_sub to /bin/sh ../../binutils-2.16/ld/../config.sub
which together obiously results with an awkward construct

After I have removed ${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} from that particular line in the ld/configure script, ld was built. Now, I wonder what went wrong? I suspect that the autoconf (2.59) and automake (1.9.2) versions I was using messed the thing up. I haven't built those myself, they came with the Fedora Core 3 distribution I have installed on my machine.

regards

Andrija
