Possible missing files in gcc build

Possible missing files in gcc build

[Noorez Kassam]

I was attempting to build the gcc system using the instructions found
on http://gcc.gnu.org. However I received the following error:
 gcc: gengtype-lex.c: No such file or directory
 gcc: no input files
 make[3]: *** [build/gengtype-lex.o] Error 1
 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/noorez/Desktop/objdir/gcc'
 make[2]: *** [all-stage1-gcc] Error 2
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/noorez/Desktop/objdir'
 make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/noorez/Desktop/objdir'
 make: *** [all] Error 2

 I obtained the files using the svn command svn -q checkout
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk gcc. Am I still missing some files
then?

This is my first time attempting to build the gcc sources so i'm still
trying to learn everything!

This is the third time you've posted this in 24 hours.  Don't do that,
it's incredibly rude.

The gengtype-lex.c file is generated from gengtype-lex.l by flex.  When
building from CVS/SVN you need flex and bison installed.  This shouldn't
be necessary when building from a tarball.
