Hello,

can you please confirm that this problem still occurs with gcc 3.3? I suspect it does, but none of 
my systems lack tar, and I don't have the privileges to remove it to check what happens. Thanks,

Dara

    Confirmed. I have access to a machine where tar in installed, but
my production machine just have 'pax', and of course 'cp', so the
target 'install-headers-cp' works fine. In fact, this is what I do to
do the installation:

gcc_version=3.3
../gcc-$gcc_version/configure --prefix=/user/gccfull/ --with-cpp-install-dir=lib --program-transform-name='s/^c++filt$/gcc-c++filt/' --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --disable-version-specific-runtime-libs --with-gxx-include-dir=/user/gccfull/include/myg++
mv gcc/Makefile gcc/Makefile.TMP
sed -e "s/INSTALL_HEADERS_DIR *=.*/INSTALL_HEADERS_DIR=install-headers-cp/" < gcc/Makefile.TMP > gcc/Makefile
rm gcc/Makefile.TMP
make CFLAGS='-O2' BOOT_CFLAGS='-O2' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' bootstrap
make install

    This way all goes ok, except the g++ include directory, which is
mentioned in another bug report and that I'm testing in 3.3.

    Thanks a lot for dealing with this.

Confirmed by submitter. I'm going to mark this as an enhancement request, though, because 
having tar on one's system is a pretty reasonable request, and it will soon be a documented 
requirement for developing with gcc...

It should be documented only for using tarballs - not for working from
CVS.

The inappropriate use of tar here is also a factor in PR 8121 (wrong 
ownership on installed header files).  (Though the use of -p may need to 
be removed in install-headers-cp to avoid the same problem there.)  We 
don't need multiple methods of installing headers, just install-headers-cp 
will suffice.

Very well, I will upgrade this to normal severity. Honestly, it probably won't matter, since nobody 
seems too interested in fixing it, but maybe one of these days...

    I'm aware of this. I could send a patch, but I'm afraid it will
be silently ignored :(( And you're right: a change to normal severity
won't affect the bug. What I was telling is just that, no matter if
this is an enhancement or a bug, it should be fixed and not rely on
'tar'. If you think it will be accepted, I can prepare a trivial
patch making 'install-headers-cp' default instead of
'install-headers-tar', or even add an 'install-headers-pax' (a friend
of mine sent a patch with this a few days ago). I can even prepare a
more complete patch with detection or things like those, if I can
afford the time.

    Thanks a lot for your interest :)

Subject: Re:  'install-headers-dir' should default to 'install-headers-cp'

    Hi Dana :)

    Excuse me for bothering you again with this issue, but the
problem still persists in gcc 3.4.0 and now it's *worse*, because I
cannot solve the problem just with an script, I need in fact to tweak
the sources :(

    I quote part of my last message in the issue:

> make install

    Now I cannot do this tweak because in 3.4.0 the 'gcc/' subsystem
is configured not while running 'configure', but when doing the 'make
bootstrap', so I don't have access to the generated Makefile at the
proper time. The only solution for me is to tweak the sources and
change the default way of installing headers. This is not a good
thing to do, because if I use those modified sources on other systems
where the default should be 'install-headers-tar', this will break
things. This should be configurable by modifying the
INSTALL_HEADERS_DIR variable while doing make install or something
like that :(

    Thanks a lot for your attention :) If you need more details
please let me know and I'll provide you with all information I can.
