The directory that I refer to as the build directory is my objdir/ subdirectory, outside the source code directory. I successfully run configure within the objdir/ directory. However make; does not complete (inside the objdir directory) because of the error I keep on getting, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fib2_ui.c:76:29: error: 'FIB_TABLE_LIMIT' undeclared (first use in this function) fib2_ui.c:76:29: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in make[5] *** [fib2_ui.lo] Error 1 make[5] Leaving directory '/home/User/gcc-4.6.2/objdir/gmp/mpn' make[4] ***all-recursive] Error 1 make[4] Leaving directory '/home/User/gcc-4.6.2/objdir/gmp' make[3] *** [all] Error 2 make[3] Leaving directory '/home/User/gcc-4.6.2/objdir/gmp' make[2] *** [all-stage1-gmp] Error 2 make[2] Leaving directory '/home/User/gcc-4.6.2/objdir' make[1] *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1] Leaving directory '/home/User/gcc-4.6.2/objdir' make: *** [all] Error 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- there is indeed an instance inside my objdir/ directory, .../objdir/gmp/gen-fib.exe (compiling on a windows/unix esque platform) however I still always get the errors stipulated inside my included dashed lines.
