I checked out the CVS main branch today. cd gcc && ./configure && make fails with the error message: ./config.status: line 909: ./../../config-ml.in: No such file or directory make: *** [configure-zlib] Error 1 cd gcc && mkdir builddir && cd builddir && ../configure && make works just fine.
Really nobody builds inside the source directory.
(In reply to comment #1) > Really nobody builds inside the source directory. Great answer! Is there ANY bug where this doesn't apply? "Yawn, nobody does that anyway, go away". I think a better solution would be if the configure script printed an appropriate error message and then died.
no, what I meant is that nobody usually does it that way but we do support it and try to fix all the problems with it. And it is documented the recommended way to build in seperate directory so ...
touch stamp-picdir make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../include/ansidecl.h', needed by `regex.o'. Stop. make: *** [all-build-libiberty] Error 2 Confirmed.
Patch here: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-10/msg00968.html>.
*** Bug 18290 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
(In reply to comment #1) > Really nobody builds inside the source directory. How does one actually build the compiler, then? gcc/doc/install.texi simply says # @section Building a native compiler # # For a native build issue the command @samp{make bootstrap} which fails (as shown in this bug). INSTALL/README tells me the directory has been obsoleted, and README points me to the doc directory (where I can't find anything else relevant, but maybe that's just me).
Read: <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html> for how people actually install/build GCC.
Paolo's patch looks good to me. Paolo, would you please check it in?

Patch applied.
Nope, my patch is not sufficient. I am testing a better fix, but I fear it is too invasive for 4.0. It is a variant of the often-proposed "build out of srcdir without telling the user" trick.
I have considered doing this in the truly parallel way: namely, introducing HOST_SUBDIR to go along with BUILD_SUBDIR and TARGET_SUBDIR. It requires mangling of '..'s in many subdirectories, which is why I haven't done it. But if it's done it allows some genuine, major simplifications.

I already have a patch for this queued for 4.1 and posted to gcc-patches. DJ however has a hackish fix that will go in once 4.0 branches. Paolo

Fixed on mainline. As I said in comment #15, DJ has patches for the 4.0 branch, so I am assigning it to him.

DJ, any update on fixing this on the 4.0 branch?

We're not going to support building 4.0 in the source directory. Closing.
