xgcc does not find gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/ar (because it is gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/binutils/ar)

[Steffen Dettmer]

Hi,

short:
what exactly is meant by "extract binutils in the same directory
as gcc" for combined build?

long:
I'm trying to build gccgo-4.6.0 for and on linux (UnitedLinux 1.0).

I extracted gcc as /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0/.
I extracted binutils in the same directory and symlinked
binutils-2.21 to binutils (also other tools as I found it in
installation instructions:

steffen@host:/usr/local/build/gcc # find  gcc-4.6.0 -type l -maxdepth
1|xargs ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop  [...]  gcc-4.6.0/binutils -> binutils-2.21
lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop  [...]  gcc-4.6.0/gmp -> gmp-4.3.2/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop  [...]  gcc-4.6.0/mpc -> mpc-0.8.1/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 steffen develop  [...]  gcc-4.6.0/mpfr -> mpfr-2.4.2/

but make aborts:

/usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/ar  rc libgcc.a $objects
/bin/sh: line 8: /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/ar: No
such file or directory
make[3]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 127

It is true that there is no

  /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/ar

but there is

  /usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/./binutils/binutils/ar

looking fine:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 steffen  develop   3478239 2011-04-26 16:35
/usr/local/build/gcc/gcc-4.6.0-go/binutils/binutils/ar*

I can run it and it gives an usage like my old ar, so seems to be OK!

So I guess I put the "combined three" wrongly and configure does
not check this, but how do I do it right?

Is there any documentation beside http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
that could help?

I'm sorry that I have to ask so silly and basic questions; any
pointers or hints appreciated!

oki,

Steffen
