ld error [could not read symbol, run ranlib to add one]

[Manikandan.V]

Hi,

I made it in the exact way what you have told. But now I am getting
different error.
Attached the error description below.

gcc -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC     -g -O2  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o cccp.exe cccp.o
cexp.o intl.o prefix.o version.o  mbchar.o  obstack.o       -ladvapi32
../libiberty/libiberty.a
../libiberty/libiberty.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run
ranlib to add one
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [cccp.exe] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/gcc/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/build/gcc'

What could be the problem.

Thanks in advance,
Mani

  I would try again:  first, do 'make clean' in your build directory.

  Next, 'mv /src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/texinfo /src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/old.texinfo'.
This is specific to building gcc under cygwin: without this, and the
--with-included-gettext option, the .info files fail to build.

  Then add the options '--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ar --with-gnu-ld
--with-included-gettext' to your configure command, and rebuild gcc.

>/tools/H-i686-pc-cygwin is the directory which has,

 [snip]  Yes, looks like the binutils were all built and installed OK.

  I just checked the crossgcc mailing list archive, which can be searched
at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/ , and searched for "mips-tfile";
within a few seconds, I found someone had already had this problem, and
the solution was to use '--with-gnu-as'; you will probably also need
'--with-gnu-ar', as it mentions.  Take a look at:
