Error compiling GCC 9.2: libgotool.a: No such file

On a fresh install of Fedora 30 onto a VM (in the below yum gets gcc 9.1, and trying to use that to build gcc 9.2):

sudo yum install make cmake gmp gmp-devel mpfr mpfr-devel libmpc libmpc-devel zlib-devel libgo libgo-devel go g++ 
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-9.2.0/gcc-9.2.0.tar.xz
tar xf gcc-9.2.0.tar.xz
cd gcc-9.2.0
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-multilib --with-system-zlib --enable-languages=c,c++,d,fortran,go,objc,obj-c++
make

gives:

Yet libgotool.a exists in /home/mmalak/gcc-9.2.0/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libgo/libgotool.a

Solution

  • I don't know if this is the reason but it is not recommended to configure and build gcc in the same directory of source code. Try: 

    cd ../
mkdir stage1-build && cd stage1-build
../gcc-9.2.0/configure --prefix=/usr --disable-multilib --with-system-zlib --enable-languages=c,c++,d,fortran,go,objc,obj-c++
make
