RE: M4sugar error

[Saeed, Ghazanfar]

Many thanks for replying.

 

For following error:

 

bison -y -d  ./arparse.y

M4sugar requires GNU M4. Install it before installing M4sugar or

set the M4 environment variable to its path name.*** Signal 13

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `arparse.c'

Current working directory /space/home/engineering/gsaeed/simplescalar/binutils-2.5.2/binutils

*** Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-binutils'

 

My environment is on Sun-Machine (Solaris8-SPARC-IIe)

 

I have already done following:

-        “/usr/local/bin/” is in PATH environment variable

-        Made also separate environment variable (export M4=“/usr/local/bin/m4”)

-        Installed M4 before installation of autoconfig

 

Furthermore I have also installed following packages

autoconfig, automake, bison, lex,  libiconv, libtool, sed and M4 in /usr/local/bin [Note: packages were taken from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc8.html]

 

But still couldn’t able to solve this problem. Maybe some other clue would be helpful. Thanks.

 

Best regards,

Ghazanfar

>(assuming you are using bash or equivalent).

 

Or add /usr/local/bin in front of PATH. Often there are some other

installations one has to when building GNU stuff.
