After downloading the package of GNU Binutils 2.25
I followed the instructions on "Installing Binutils":
./cnofigure
make
errors happened after build:
../../binutils-gdb/binutils/nm.c:1733:28: error: 'sbrk' is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
char *lim = (char *) sbrk (0);
/usr/include/unistd.h:582:7: note: 'sbrk' has been explicitly marked deprecated here
void *sbrk(int);
1 error generated.
make[4]: *** [nm.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-binutils] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
I did some research on net and they said using this command
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-werror
and I get
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all-recursive
make[8]: Nothing to be done for 'all-am'.
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all-target'.
(what does that mean "nothing to be done for all-am and all-target")
I don't know what to do anymore. Is it a bug or it's me doing something wrong?
Please help.
You really would make life easier for yourself if you used homebrew as a package manager on OSX.
Goto the homebrew website and copy and paste the one-line install script into your Terminal.
Then you can install binutils simply by typing
brew install binutils
If, down the line, you want to find GNU sed, or ImageMagick, you can just do
brew search sed
or
brew search imagemagick
then
brew install sed
If you have any problems, just run
brew doctor
If you want to update all your packages, just run
brew update
brew upgrade --all
