RE: Prefix command with gcc-2.95

["Roger.Gough" <Roger dot Gough at ul dot ie>]

Thanks Rup for your reply.

	Yes everything you said I have done. However I was getting an error
with the Make command. If it does not build fully does that mean I will not
see any files in the directory I set as my prefix? I definetely dont see any
files in my prefix directory after I do my configuration. At the moment I am
not too bothered about the make error, I just want to get the prefix command
working. Thanks again.

Roger.

It's always worked here. Can I verify you're adding this to the
configure line for a source-code distribution of GCC, i.e. you've done
something like

      gzip -cd gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz |tar xvf -
      mkdir build
      cd build
      ../gcc-2.95.3/configure --prefix=/my/install/path

followed by 'make bootstrap', 'make install', etc.? It's not a parameter
for the gcc executable, nor is it a standalone command.

Rup.
