Installing GCC 3.2 : How to resolve error "lvalue required as increment operand"?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3444 / 2 Years ago, mon, december 20, 2021, 5:21:33

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and the current version of GCC installed in my system is 4.4.
For some specific need I want to install GCC 3.2.

I began with these steps:

$mkdir gcc-build

$cd gcc-build

$tar zxvf gcc-3.2.tar.gz

$mkdir -p gcc-bin

$mkdir -p usr/local

$cd gcc-bin

$../gcc-build/gcc-3.2/configure --prefix=../gcc-build/usr/local

It has configured successfully. But when I used below command

$make bootstrap

I got an error

../gcc-build/gcc-3.2/gcc/read-rtl.c:653: error: lvalue required as increment operand

make[1]: *** [read-rtl.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `../gcc-build/gcc-bin/gcc'

make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Anybody please help me to resolve this error. Or please suggest some alternative ways. Thanks.

After few trials, I found one solution.

I added below mirrors in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20070730T000000Z/ lenny main

deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20070730T000000Z/ lenny main

deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20070730T000000Z/ lenny/updates main

deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20070730T000000Z/ lenny/updates main

With these mirrors, I am able to install GCC 3.3(though not GCC 3.2) using

$sudo apt-get install g++-3.3

Don't forget to do $sudo apt-get update before above command.

It is in fact satisfying my need.
And to run the program using GCC 3.3, do

$gcc-3.3 input_file

Because otherwise if you type $gcc input_file it will use the default GCC(GCC 4.4 in my case) to compile the program.
We can change the way desired version is used by simply creating a hard link of the version you want to tag to command gcc. We can do the following

$cd /usr/bin

$sudo ln gcc-3.3 gcc

So now whenever you type $gcc input_file it will use your desired gcc version to compile the program.
