Problem compiling gcc4.4 on fedora 17.

[ryanvade]

Hello
I am having problems compiling gcc4.4 on my fedora 17 install. Here is what the problem is:

./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `__cxa_call_unexpected'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I found http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50888 that kinda explains it. I don't really understand what to change though.

Can Anyone help me?

This is a linker error and not a compiler error.

Try to link it against -lstdc++ which includes the symbol.

strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.16 | grep -i __cxa_call_unexpected

[ryanvade]

so This:

strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.17 | grep -i __cxa_call_unexpected

__cxa_call_unexpected

That Worked. Thanks.
Can you look at this as well?

Wouldn't it be easier to go here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/p...o?packageID=40 locate the gcc 4.4 rpms you need, dwonload and install them?
Whatever the version tag is, shouldn't matter.

Most versions of gcc need extensive tweaking (patching) to be successfully compiled, so if you solve this one issue, there are likely to be several others as well.

PHP Code:

# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck *.rpm

yes I could do that too. Do you think it would fix the second problem?

The

strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.17 | grep -i __cxa_call_unexpected

didn't work.
I'm going to try to use a pre compiled version...

Nothing to do

Back to compiling...

Here is how I'm going to compile.

/home/ryan/source/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc447 \--program-suffix=-4.4 --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu  --enable-languages=c,c++

I just found out that Cuda 5 can use gcc 4.6.1. I'm going to compile it.

I keep getting this:

checking for the correct version of the gmp/mpfr/mpc libraries... no
configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.3.1+ and MPC 0.8.0+.

I downloaded and installed gmp mpc and mpfr and that didn't fix it.
