RE: [Gm2] Initial Setup & Installation

[Rob Feyerherm]

Okay, I removed everything I had tried already and started over.  Hope this helps diagnose what may have gone wrong, if anything.  I've been reading the http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/Glamorgan/gaius/web/gm2.html doc here but I don't seem to be able to run gm2 or find it anywhere to execute.

Thanks,
Rob

I ran

gzip -dc gm2-20020916+gcc-3.2.tar.gz | tar xf -    ("completed successfully")
   mkdir host-build                                        ("completed successfully")
   cd host-build                                                   ("completed successfully")
   ../gcc-20020916+gcc-3.2/configure               ("completed successfully")
   make                         ENDED WITH THE FOLLOWING AFTER IT RAN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES:

failed to find definition module choosetemp.def
make[2]: *** [gm2/gm2-compiler/M2Preprocess.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/gnum2/host-build/gcc'

make[1]: *** [cc1gm2] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/gnum2/host-build/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

so then I ran
   su                                                              ("completed successfully")

and then

   make install                 Here's the output from that:

ok good. You should be able to build the compiler:

   gzip -dc gm2-20020916+gcc-3.2.tar.gz | tar xf -
   mkdir host-build
   cd host-build
   ../gcc-20020916+gcc-3.2/configure
   make
   su
   make install
