Submission from: (NULL) (169.237.121.210)


I am unable to compile R-1.5.0, and am getting the following errors with make. I
searched through
the buglist and didn't see anything similar, although I wouldn't doubt if I was
just
using the wrong version of something. 

gcc version 3.0.3



gcc -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -g -O2 -c lbfgsb.c -o lbfgsb.o
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccBVo80F.s", line 12970: error: unknown opcode
".subsection"
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccBVo80F.s", line 12970: error: statement syntax
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccBVo80F.s", line 12982: error: unknown opcode

/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccBVo80F.s", line 12982: error: statement syntax
*** Error code 1

Thanks,

I think this is a generic problem, unrelated to R: To use gcc-3.0.3
the assembler in /usr/ccs/bin/as is in sufficient. You need GNU as,
and obviously also to make sure that it is found before the one in
/usr/ccs. I have have built R succesfully on a system where the
following holds:

Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.7       Generic October 1998

The assembler is part of binutils-2.11.2 installed from sunfreeware.com.

It's fine: I use it all the time.  The issue is that you must use the same
`as' as gcc was built to use.  The simplest and safest route is to build
gcc (3.0.4 with 3.1 imminent) on the target system.

Quite a lot of traffic on R-bugs is about mis-configured versions of gcc.
