Re: Problems compiling the GCC 4.3.5

[Paul van Hoven <paul dot van dot hoven at googlemail dot com>]

Thanks for the answers.

I tried again but it failed again. I'm currently using the following 
directory structure

I have the following base directory
/Users/toom/Downloads/gcc-4.3.5

In there I have the following directory
/Users/toom/Downloads/gcc-4.3.5/gcc-4.3.5

in which I deflated all the source code of gcc-4.3.5

Now, what I understand by building outside the source directory, I 
understand the following

In the outside directory "/Users/toom/Downloads/gcc-4.3.5" I call 
"./gcc-4.3.5/configure" with options and after that I get a Makefile in 
"/Users/toom/Downloads/gcc-4.3.5" and therefore I type there make. Then 
I get the following error message:

i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: 
../../build-i386-apple-darwin10.6.0/libiberty/libiberty.a: No such file 
or directory
make[3]: *** [build/genmodes] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-stage1-gcc] Error 2
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2

I checked that the file libiberty.a exists but somehow make does not 
find the correct relative path. I still don't know how to compile the gcc.
