Virender, They happen many, many times. I don't know how long the bootstrap process takes in your environment but in my experience it's like sausage. You'll enjoy it more if you don't watch it being made. Of course if you have evidence that the make process is stuck looping without making headway, that is a different problem and you should provide the evidence as it will help us help you. cheers, Gerard -----Original Message----- From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Virender Kashyap Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 8:09 AM To: GCC HELP Subject: gcc3.4.0 install problem hi i am not able to install gcc3.4.0 on my comp. i already have gcc3.3 installed on my comp i do following : mkdir objdir cd objdir ../gcc-source/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ then i do make bootstrap but here i see the same things being repeated (some checking messages)and displayed again and again. how many times doess checking happen ?
