[Bug bootstrap/23198] New: 'make DESTDIR=... install' installs xgcc instead of gcc

[tobi at gcc dot gnu dot org]

After configuring and building with

$SRCDIR/configure --enable-languages=c,f95 --prefix=/home/tobi/usr
make bootstrap
make DESTDIR=/tmp install

I get:
schluter@pcl247d:/tmp/home/tobi/usr/bin> pwd
/tmp/home/tobi/usr/bin
schluter@pcl247d:/tmp/home/tobi/usr/bin> ls -R
.:
cpp*  gcc/  gccbug  gcov*  gfortran*

./gcc:
xgcc*
schluter@pcl247d:/tmp/home/tobi/usr/bin> 

I.e. xgcc is installed instead of gcc.

I'm seeing this failure also if I do a regular make install.  I'll now try
compiling with only C enabled.

Are you sure that you don't have a directory in /tmp/home/tobi/usr/bin/ before you started the make 
install, likewise in /home/tobi/usr/bin?

Try removing it before make install.  If that is the problem, then this is not really a bug.

No, there was nothing before I tried installing.

Sigh.  Somehow the build chose a weird install program.  Editing the Makefile to
use gnu install instead fixes it.

Two questions:
A) should there be a configure option for this?
B) should '@(#)$Header: /cvs/openafs/src/pinstall/install.c,v 1.9.2.7 2003/07/25
04:40:16' work?

Actually we should detect if it is non complaint install and use the install-sh script instead.

Only the BSD, the GNU and the install-sh script have really been tested all the way.

Should we keep this bug open for this?

[Bug bootstrap/23198] AC_PROG_INSTALL (autoconf 2.13) does not detect bad install program

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2005-08-04 04:37 -------
I think this is an autoconf bug because we just use AC_PROG_INSTALL.

Maybe updating the toplevel to 2.59, it will automatically be fixed but I don't know if this has been 
fixed in that version of autoconf.

Maybe someone should figure out if this is still a bug in autoconf.

do you know if this is a bug any more after the updated autoconf?
