[LLVMdev] Using non-system compiler to build llvm and llvm-gcc front end

[Scott Ricketts]

Thanks for the suggestions. It looks like Duncan's suggestion got me a
step closer, but I still can't build llvm-gcc...

Tried that, same error.

I did that, and then "make tools-only" -- which resulted in a
successful build of llvm-2.5. Then I went to build llvm-gcc:

../llvm-gcc4.2-2.5.source/configure
--prefix=/pkg/build/llvm/llvm-gcc/install --program-prefix=llvm-
--enable-llvm=/pkg/build/llvm/llvm-obj/ --enable-languages=c,c++

make LLVM_VERSION_INFO=2.5

and I get this error (which, according to
http://www.mail-archive.com/llvmbugs@cs.uiuc.edu/msg02575.html might
mean I am using a bad version of gcc)...

../../llvm-gcc4.2-2.5.source/gcc/libgcov.c:644: internal compiler error: Aborted

So I tried this config for llvm-gcc:

$ ../llvm-gcc4.2-2.5.source/configure
--prefix=/pkg/build/llvm/llvm-gcc/install --program-prefix=llvm-
--enable-llvm=/pkg/build/llvm/llvm-obj/ --enable-languages=c,c++
CC=/pkg/bin/gcc-4.2.4/bin/gcc CXX=/pkg/bin/gcc-4.2.4/bin/g++

but got:

configure: warning: CC=/pkg/bin/gcc-4.2.4/bin/gcc: invalid host type
configure: warning: CXX=/pkg/bin/gcc-4.2.4/bin/g++: invalid host type
configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time

How do I tell llvm-gcc config to use the right version of gcc?
/pkg/bin/ is in my path thanks to the suggestion from Duncan.

$ echo $PATH
/pkg/bin/:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/user_homes/sricketts/bin
