Thanks Rup for your reply.

	Yes everything you said I have done. However I was getting an error
with the Make command. If it does not build fully does that mean I will not
see any files in the directory I set as my prefix? I definetely dont see any
files in my prefix directory after I do my configuration. At the moment I am
not too bothered about the make error, I just want to get the prefix command
working. Thanks again.

Roger.

It's always worked here. Can I verify you're adding this to the
configure line for a source-code distribution of GCC, i.e. you've done
something like

      gzip -cd gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz |tar xvf -
      mkdir build
      cd build
      ../gcc-2.95.3/configure --prefix=/my/install/path

followed by 'make bootstrap', 'make install', etc.? It's not a parameter
for the gcc executable, nor is it a standalone command.

Hi Roger,

  You will not see any files under your prefix directory till you complete 
"make install".

"make bootstrap" will just build the compiler in the directory in which you have configured and "make install" will transfer all the required files for using gcc/g++ into the directory specified by --prefix option.

hope this helps.
regards,
Ravi

Prefix command with gcc-2.95

[Roger.Gough]

Hi All,

  I am having some problems using the prefix command with gcc version 2.95.
With the command:

	--prefix=dirname. 

This command should specify the toplevel installation directory. This does
not seem to work for me. Has anybody else experienced similar problems?
Thanks in advance.

Rgds

Roger.
