Re: Help compiling native gcc-4.7.0 on Solaris/x86

[Shahbaz Javeed <sjaveed at gmail dot com>]

Vincent,

No, I'm building the compiler in a directory parallel to where the source is.  Here's a quick layout diagram:

/usr/local/src
|
+- gmp-5.0.5
+- mpfr-3.0.1
+- mpc-0.9
+- build-4.7.0
+- binutils-2.22
+- gcc-4.7.0
   +- gmp -> ../gmp-5.0.5
   +- mpfr -> ../mpfr-3.0.1
   +- mpc -> ../mpc-0.9
   +- bfd -> ../binutils-2.22/bfd
   +- binutils -> ../binutils-2.22/binutils
   +- cpu -> ../binutils-2.22/cpu
   +- elfcpp -> ../binutils-2.22/elfcpp
   +- etc -> ../binutils-2.22/etc
   +- gas -> ../binutils-2.22/gas
   +- gold -> ../binutils-2.22/gold
   +- gprof -> ../binutils-2.22/gprof
   +- ld -> ../binutils-2.22/ld
   +- opcodes -> ../binutils-2.22/opcodes
   +- setup.com -> ../binutils-2.22/setup.com
   +- src-release -> ../binutils-2.22/src-release
   +- texinfo -> ../binutils-2.22/texinfo

I run the following configure command from within /usr/local/src/build-4.7.0:

../gcc-4.7.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc --enable-bootstrap --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld

I hope that helps clear things up.
