Re: More woes building the binutils suite

In news:qrsua6-c0d.ln1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Mark Hobley <markhobley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> typed:

I extract the source tarball as follows:

tar xjf binutils-2.19.1.tar.bz2

I created a build directory and made this current:

mkdir binutils-build
cd binutils-build
....

There's the problem right there ... there is no need for you to create an
empty directory and then run the compilation while hiding in a foxhole.

I configure the package for compilation:

../binutils-2.19.1/configure --build=$BLD --target=$TGT
--prefix=/tools --disable-nls --disable-werror

Ok so far.

No it's not ... stay in the directory that was created for the package when
you un-tar'd the bz2 file and type:

../configure --build=$BLD --target=$TGT --prefix=/tools --disable-nls --disab
le-werror

.... and then "make".

make will navigate the expected directory structure in the proper order to
compile the package.
