Toolchain install suddenly hanging

Post by 27Bstroke6 »

After having successfully installed the toolchain a number of times (under cygwin) -- always cleaning out the previous version before each new install -- I've been unable to get the most recent attempts to complete. In all cases, the build now hangs at "Configuring in opcodes" -- after:

"Checking for stdlib.h... (cached) yes
updating cache ./config.cache
configure: creating ./config.status

... that's it, hang city at that point. Before I go digging deep, any ideas? This was working fine originally, and there's plenty of disk space, memory, etc.

Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. I don't know why it hangs.
I downloaded the psptoolchain-20051023.tar, but it just contains one file, that has no extension.
The last version I tried (september) contained a pspsdk directory with toolchain.sh. So I got the latest psptoolchain on svn and ran ./toolchain.sh, but I have the same problem as him now (hanging at configure: creating ./config.status).
By ending a sh.exe process, it continued, but crashed later:

Code: Select all

checking file_ptr type... BFD_HOST_64_BIT
checking for stdlib.h... (cached) yes
checking for unistd.h... (cached) yes
checking for getpagesize... (cached) yes
checking for working mmap... (cached) no
checking for madvise... no
checking for mprotect... yes
updating cache ./config.cache
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating bfd-in3.h
config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
config.status: creating config.h

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pspdev/binutils-2.16.1/build-psp/libiberty'
make: *** [all-libiberty] Error 2

If anyone could help us please, it would be very kind, thanks.

For what it's worth, I ultimately got this build to complete by going into the opcode directory and manually running configure in there (which completed OK) then going back out and re-running the main build. I have no idea why this should have made a difference.
