Re: Fw: Problems building and installing the GNU Binary Utilities


Hi Alasdair,

: I have been attempting to evaluate eCos for the ARM7 and have
: followed the instructions at
: http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/tools/win-arm-elf.html. 
: 
: Attempting the binutils make fails due to the absence of bfd.h in 
: /src/binutils-20000722-1/bfd.  There is a bfd.h in the cygwin
: distribution in /usr/include which fixes the problem, but the next
: error is for libintl.h etc.
: 
: Can anyone offer any help?

bfd.h is not a distrusted file.  It is a constructed file that gets
created into your build directory (not your source directory) as part
of the build of the BFD library.  If your builds are failing because
they cannot find this file, then it means that something is wrong with
the makefile or scripts that are supposed to create it.

Can you post a more detailed description of how the problem occurs ?

Cheers
	Nick
