Description xiaoyi_wu 2004-07-04 19:35:54 UTC 
On Solaris platform, if configure is run as:

../gcc-3.4.1/configure --prefix=/install_path/gcc

then "make install" will fail with "../gcc-3.4.1/install-sh not found" error.
The configure will generate a "Makefile" with a line like:

INSTALL = ../gcc-3.4.1/install-sh -c

so when entering into a deeper directory, this file will not be found.  This
problem does not show up in linux because there INSTALL is set to /usr/bin/install.

The work around is to give configure an absolute path:

/extract_path/gcc-3.4.1/configure --prefix=/install_path/gcc

This will change the INSTALL to /extract_path/gcc-3.4.1/install-sh -c in Makefile.

The relative path configure worked fine in gcc-3.3.3.  I couldn't confirm 3.4.0
on solaris, since that has the "make bootstrap" error.

This is a dup of bug 13993.
