Error while installing gcc (gcc-8.5.0)

[pk2061]

Hi,

i was trying to update my gcc.
After compiling for nearly two days straight it crashed with the following error messages:

I am using an iMac G3 with 500Mhz running Tiger.

Have you any advice for me?

Thanks for your great work! :)

I did test this formula on a iBook G3 with Tiger. "completed successfully, 2108.7 minutes on a 600Mhz late 2001 iBook G3."
Which compiler are you using to build GCC 8.5?

[pk2061]

HI,

from the log file I would guess brew uses /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2

• I have attached the log file below
  02.make.txt

Apart from that I have also gcc 7.5 installed:

imac-g3:~ jan$ which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
imac-g3:~ jan$ gcc -v

That's fine, I also used apple-gcc42. How much RAM do you have installed in your system?

[pk2061]

I have 768 MB Ram installed

[sevan]

Btw, in your initial post, the output you shared states fatal error: opening dependency file common/.deps/common-targhooks.TPo: No such file or directory but the log file has no such error. (could you share the log file which contains this message if you can)

Ok, you're doing better than me. I had 640MB installed, I think.

I am sorry, maybe I have accidentally overwritten the log file.
I will try building it again and give you a new logfile when it broke again.

Not a problem, since you're looking to start a new build, if it's possible could you clone a fresh tigerbrew repo somewhere instead & run brew install gcc from within that new copy, just to rule out something with your existing setup?

I have a TigerVM somewhere. I will try to get it running there and get back to you.
