It happens here when I start RPCEmu too soon after booting Win7, which
seems to be preoccupied with its own housekeeping, for several minutes
after booting.

After booting Win7, wait at least 20 minutes before starting RPCEmu.

Cfr. README's "5. Developing GCCSDK". Send the output of 'svn diff' as
attachement to this list.

Exactly. They became more strict for malformed input files.

Definately patches when possible (like I did with r6784). Only if that's
not possible we go for building the right versions of the required
build tools as part of the GCCSDK build (like done for autotools).

Yes, actually I could reproduce this myself. I've backported several
binutils patches so that so that more recent texinfo versions can be
used to build its documentation.

Cfr. r6782 for the branches/release_4_1_2 svn branch.

Hope this solves your build problem as well,
John.

You can apply such local patches by placing them in the approriate  subdirectory under recipe/patches.  On the other hand, this fix is  generaly useful as more and more people will start using gcc4.9 to build  GCCSDK so I've applied a copy of that patch as r6782.

Having now discovered the create-patch script, should I just pass these results back to you John?

thanks

JB

to follow from my last post, there are several more places where .texinfo files fail.
e.g. in gcc4/srcdir/binutils/gas/doc multiple failures, multiple files.
 typical is '@itemx must follow @item' .. the source file does not contain an @item line.
I've also got 'command @bullet not accepting argument in brace should not be on @table line' and '@code expected braces'

Attempting to build wget I also got the @itemx error.

googling suggests this started with a later version of texinfo, or equivalent.

What is best? .. build an earlier version of texinfo, or provide patches to fix?

Thanks

    John.

Re: [gccsdk] build for gcc4.1.2 fails too

Hi John

The initial 4.1.2 build error is in various .texinfo files, there  2 occurrences of @ that should be @@

it emerges as unknown command colophon and as unknown command cygnus

they were in there as @colophon and @cygnus, and should be @@colophon and @@cygnus (according to various bug reports)

That seems to have got those building

see
binutils/ld/ld.texinfo
binutils/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo

Cheers

John
