installing gcc on Mac OS X

installing gcc on Mac OS X

[Liu Yuen-Jong]

Hi,

I downloaded gcc 3.0.2 from gnu.org and tried to compile it myself on an
Apple PowerMac G4 running Mac OS X 10.1.  While in the source directory, I
executed "./configure" which ran fine.  Then I executed "make install",
which aborted with the error messages at the end of this email.  These
messages were from the second time I tried to make install.  Could you
tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Yuen-Jong Liu

I suppose you're just not reading the installation instructions?!

First off, as clearly stated in the installation instructions you need
to build in a seperate directory -- NOT in the source directory.

Secondly, as clearly stated in the installation instructions you need
to run 'make bootstrap' to build a native compiler.

Read the manuals.
