gcc-4.1 toolchain on Ubuntu

Hi all,

I just successfully built the gcc-4.1 toolchain on my Ubuntu box, it should be mentrioned

that gawk is required for building the toolchain (glibc does not compile with mawk which

is the default awk on Ubuntu)

Hope that helps ...

    Never ran into this issue, on my system I have gawk, but I've gone through a few upgrades. What version of Ubuntu?

    Looks like 10.04 changed to gawk by default, but I updated the wiki page anyway.

    Hi,

    Thank you for updating the Wiki, I also found that after installing gcc-4.3 packages,

    a symbolic link is required to make the build script happy:

    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 /usr/bin/gcc34

    All the best ...
