building nios2 gcc from sources on RHEL 5

Altera_Forum · ‎06-23-2012

FWIW, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, I was building gcc from the altera source

code, but the gnu build install step was failing due to some issue with the texinfo

package. I upgraded texinfo to 4.13 by building from sources but this didn't fix

the issue. I did eventually locate this email which appears to be relevant.

I dropped the gcc/doc/include/texinfo.tex file from gcc 4.4.7 into my

Altera 11 gcc 4.1 source tree, and viola the gcc install issue was resolved.

For persons searching for comments on this issue I will post some relevant keywords.

My error message looked like this

invoke.texi:1078: I can't find file

Line 1078 in invoke.texi looks like this:

@include @value{srcdir}/../libiberty/at-file.texi
