Compiling gccxml

Hi,

I want to use Reflex from v5-14-00e with gccxml on Debian with GCC 4.0.3.

According to the User's Guide I understand I need gccxml 0.6.0_patch3. I found source and 3 diff files here:

http://service-spi.web.cern.ch/service-spi/external/tarFiles/

I tried to simply apply these patches to the source but they don't all apply cleanly. Looking at SPI logs it seems that only diff2 is meant to be applied to the source prior to compilation and diffs 1 and 3 are to be applied to the installed files. Can someone confirm this?

However, after applying diff2 the source fails to build in two ways:.

1. Using the cmake 2.4.2 binary from SPI it progresses as far as:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/bviren/opt/gccxml-0.6.0-patch3 ../ make
...

Building C object GCC/gcc/CMakeFiles/genconstants.dir/read-rtl.o

2) Using cmake 2.4-patch5 that comes with Debian:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/bviren/opt/gccxml-0.6.0-patch3 ../ make
...
Linking C static library ../gcc/libiberty.a [ 10%] Built target iberty
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `GCC/gcc/./genrecog', needed by `GCC/gcc/insn-recog.c'. Stop.

Following this I can then build genrecog and the other gen* targets by hand but eventually get to the same error as in case #1.

Does anyone have any guidance as to how I can build gccxml?

I'm doing this in the context of building a subset Gaudi and LCGCMT. Is there any reason I shouldn't just tell Reflex to use CINT instead of gccxml?

Thanks,
