[Bug bootstrap/15379] New: 'make install' fails

[andreas at florath dot net]

After (successfully) building of the compiler, a 'make install' failes with the
error:
/bin/sh ../../gcc-3.4.0/gcc/mkinstalldirs /appl/tmo/be3/pkg/pre1/info
/bin/sh ../../gcc-3.4.0/gcc/mkinstalldirs /appl/tmo/be3/pkg/pre1/lib
/bin/sh ../../gcc-3.4.0/gcc/mkinstalldirs /appl/tmo/be3/pkg/pre1/man/man1
/bin/sh ../../gcc-3.4.0/gcc/mkinstalldirs /appl/tmo/be3/pkg/pre1/man/man7
for file in cc1 ; do \
  if [ -f $file ] ; then \
    rm -f /appl/tmo/be3/pkg/pre1/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.4.0/$file; \
    ../gcc-3.4.0/install-sh -c $file
/appl/tmo/be3/pkg/pre1/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.4.0/$file; \
  else true; \
  fi; \
done
/bin/sh: ../gcc-3.4.0/install-sh: not found
make[2]: *** [install-common] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/appl/tmo/be3/tmp/gcc-compile/gcc'
make[1]: *** [install-gcc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/appl/tmo/be3/tmp/gcc-compile'

Configure was called with:
../gcc-3.4.0/configure  --prefix=/appl/tmo/be3/pkg/pre1 --enable-shared
--enable-threads --enable-languages=c --disable-libgcj --disable-multilib

make version:
GNU Make 3.80

After changing the line
INSTALL = ../../gcc-3.4.0/gcc/../install-sh -c
to 
INSTALL=../../gcc-3.4.0/gcc/../install-sh -c
in the file gcc/Makefile
(i. e. deleting the spaces around the equal sign)
the make uses the correct version of the INSTALL variable.

The '../gcc-3.4.0/install-sh' is from the main Makefile where INSTALL is set to
this value.

I'm not sure, if this is a problem with the Makefile(.in) or with the 'make'
command itself.

Best regards

Andreas Florath

Did you read: <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-*-solaris2*>?

The Solaris 2 /bin/sh will often fail to configure libstdc++-v3, boehm-gc or libjava. We therefore 
recommend to use the following sequence of commands to bootstrap and install GCC:
        % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
        % export CONFIG_SHELL

and then proceed as described in the build instructions, where we strongly recommend using GNU 
make and specifying an absolute path to invoke srcdir/configure.

I object to this error being considered invalid.  I don't even know that using
ksh instead of Solaris' sh will fix it.  The problem here is that the top-level
makefile is passing an invalid INSTALL (and/or INSTALL_SCRIPT) to the child
Makefile's.  This is bogus.
Yes, suggesting that we use a complete path to the srcdir when calling configure
*will* work around the problem.  But that's much like saying "Oh, you stepped on
a nail I left in the hall?  Well, if you'd used the other hall it wouldnt've
happened."  It's true, but it doesn't mean that using the other hall is the only
correct solution.  It's just a way to avoid the problem.
I think this bug should be fixed.
Please reopen.
(FYI, I'm seeing this on Solaris 10_b54)

Okay.  I just set CONFIG_SHELL (exported), then reran configure, then gmake
bootstrap, then gmake install.  Same failure:
rm -f /usr/local/bin/g++
../gcc-3.4.0/install-sh -c g++ /usr/local/bin/g++
/bin/ksh: ../gcc-3.4.0/install-sh:  not found
gmake[1]: [c++.install-common] Error 127 (ignored)

  That's being passed into gcc/Makefile as INSTALL (or INSTALL_SCRIPT).

  I'm not sure how to fix this, but it's definately still a bug in the build
process...
