This is how we generally build GCC; building where srcdir == objdir should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir is a subdirectory of srcdir is unsupported. End quote. Say your gcc source directory is /somedir/gcc-4.3. Then cd /somedir mkdir gcc_build cd gcc_build ../gcc-4.3/configure ... [configure options...] make [options...] make install You probably ought not to specify the --prefix since /usr/local is the default. You probably ought not to specify the target and let the gcc scripts figure it out. You probably ought not to use the unusual make targets unless you really know what you're doing--the defaults work fine. Hopefully that should eliminate the problems. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA
