- Subject: Installing GNU Packages on Sun
Has anyone else experienced problems with the install script on Sun OS
when attempting to install GNU packages?
I'm not sure if this is the best forum to ask this Sun Specific
question.
My ultimate goal is to build an m68k cross compiler on Sun OS 5.8. In
the process of building the supporting tools, make, binutils, gcc etc. I
discovered make install does not work. The following is a sample of the
error I am getting. It seems that the install command generated by the
make results in the install script on Sun generating a cp command with
the parameters reversed. It is trying to copy from /usr/local/bin to
the development directory.
Is there a quick fix for this or am I going to have to start messing
with the install script or the makefiles for all the packages I want to
build?
