solaris cpp problem

Sat Apr 1 00:00:00 GMT 2000

I have deteremined that the cpp I am using is not happy with the way the
-MD option is passed.
The cpp command that is being executed is something like:
cpp -I. -I../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava -I./include -Iinclude
-I../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava/include
-I../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava/../boehm-gc -I./../boehm-gc
-I../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava/../compat-include
-I../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava/../zlib -D__GNUC__=2 -D__GNUG__=2
-D__GNUC_MINOR__=95 -D__cplusplus -Dsparc -Dsun -Dunix -D__svr4__
-D__SVR4 -D__sparc__ -D__sun__ -D__unix__ -D__svr4__ -D__SVR4 -D__sparc
-D__sun -D__unix '-Asystem(unix)' '-Asystem(svr4)' -D__EXCEPTIONS
-D__OPTIMIZE__ -g -W -Wall -D__GCC_NEW_VARARGS__ '-Acpu(sparc)'
'-Amachine(sparc)' -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSILENT=1 -DNO_SIGNALS=1
-DNO_DEBUGGING=1 -DJAVA_FINALIZATION=1 -DPIC -MD somepathfilename
../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava/prims.cc tempoutputfile
It seems that my cpp was confused and used somepathfilename as the input
file and ../.../prims.cc as the output
file thus seeing tempoutputfile as some unknown input file hence the
error message "too many input files".
To confirm here is my cpp -v
sundance>cpp -v
Reading specs from
/projects/learning/usr/java/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/2.95.1/specs
gcc version 2.95.1 19990816 (release)
I followed your advice and eliminated the -Wp,-MD option. That made
significant progress but failed with:
ld: fatal: file crti.o: open failed: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [libgcj.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/projects/learning/usr/java/libgcj-objdir/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/libjava'
I should also note that there were a number of warnings from the c++
commands (without the -Wp,-MD)
warning about linker output not used or some such (I can get the exact
wording if it is important).
I'd appreciate advice on how to proceed from here, and maybe someone can
point out (with the added info
above) why my cpp isn't working as it apparently is expected to work.
