a better build

[Paul M. Eugenio]

Hi,

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I have a quick question or two. Is it better/recommended to build egcs-1.1.1 via cvs with the egcs_latest_snapshot version or via the ftp tar-ball. 

I have first tried to make it from the tar file, but after configuring (for alpha-dec-osf4.0b), my make bootstrap fails with:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/local/src/egcs-1.1.1/texinfo/lib -I.. -I../intl -g -O2 -c /usr/local/src/egcs-1.1.1/texinfo/lib/getopt.c
/usr/local/src/egcs-1.1.1/texinfo/lib/getopt.c:34: config.h: No such file or directory

I have found many config.h files on my system but I'm not sure which to use.

# find /usr -name config.h -print                                               /usr/local/egcs_build/libiberty/config.h
/usr/local/egcs_build/texinfo/config.h
/usr/local/egcs_build/gcc/config.h
/usr/local/temp_include/config.h
/usr/local/patch-2.5/config.h
/usr/sys/include/sys/config.h
/usr/patch-2.5/config.h


Instead, I'm now building egcs_latest_snapshot via cvs. It's still building, but I'm not sure if this is the right/best/recommended way for the build.


Any insight would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank You..
