Error when building "Toolchain 4.9-2015-q3-update"

Asked by Saeed Molaie

I get the following error when building Toolchain 4.9-2015-q3-update (https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/4.9/4.9-2015-q3-update):

Excerpt of the error log:

***********************************************

There are many more errors complaining about variables being undeclared similar to above, but I just posted the first instance of them as an example. Prior to this error, I was getting complaints about makeinfo/textinfo being missing. After installing makeinfo I now see the errors I posted above.

Also, I've applied this patch (https://gist.github.com/tgarc/3094325d61797d3ee0e3#gistcomment-2616981) prior to building the toolchain using the "How-to-build-toolchain.pdf (md5)" instruction posted in the first link.

Hi,

We don't support this version of the toolchain anymore. The currently supported version is 7-2017-q4-major. Please update to this version from

https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads

Thanks.
