- Subject: Sorting out the directories in Makefile.in
There are a whole bunch of directories specified in GCC's Makefile.in,
and I'm trying to sort them. I believe they fall into these categories:
* System directories which are searched or used during the *build* of
GCC.
* Those containing stuff native to the build machine
* Those containing stuff for the host machine
* Those containing stuff for the target machine
* Directories into which GCC *installs* things (when GCC's 'make
install' is run)
* Directories whose names are coded into the GCC programs themselves
* Directories specific to the build process, such as $srcdir, $objdir,
and $parsedir.
Unfortunately, I've been having great trouble working out which are
which, particularly with reference to installation directories vs.
directories searched during build. Some, of course, may be both, but
hopefully not too many.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
