Hi, short: what exactly is meant by "extract binutils in the same directory as gcc" for combined build? long: I'm trying to build gccgo-4.6.0 for and on linux (UnitedLinux 1.0). I extracted gcc as /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0/. I extracted binutils in the same directory and symlinked binutils-2.21 to binutils (also other tools as I found it in installation instructions: steffen@host:/usr/local/build/gcc # find gcc-4.6.0 -type l -maxdepth 1|xargs ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop [...] gcc-4.6.0/binutils -> binutils-2.21 lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop [...] gcc-4.6.0/gmp -> gmp-4.3.2/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop [...] gcc-4.6.0/mpc -> mpc-0.8.1/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop [...] gcc-4.6.0/mpfr -> mpfr-2.4.2/ but make aborts: /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/ar rc libgcc.a $objects /bin/sh: line 8: /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/ar: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc' make[2]: *** [all-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go' make: *** [all] Error 2 It is true that there is no /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/ar but there is /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/binutils/ar looking fine: -rwxr-xr-x 1 steffen develop 3478239 2011-04-26 16:35 /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/binutils/binutils/ar* I can run it and it gives an usage like my old ar, so seems to be OK! So I guess I put the "combined three" wrongly and configure does not check this, but how do I do it right? Is there any documentation beside http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ that could help? I'm sorry that I have to ask so silly and basic questions; any pointers or hints appreciated! oki, Steffen
