The docs say this:
For a native build issue the command make bootstrap.
So, it sounds to me like, unless you are building a cross compiler,
"make bootstrap" is indeed the correct command to use when building GCC,
even if you already have another version of it on your system.
Thanks,
Lyle

I did this a while ago and my info might have been obsoleted :)
Anyway just to upgrade the gcc with same binutils and stuff hwat I did
is,
iirc...
1. configure with necessary option
2. make
3. make install
ofcourse you would want this to install in a different location so it
wont
corrupt the pre existing gcc.

A friend of mine that has a fair amount of C programming experience and I,
who has no experience in programming in C, are looking for a common compiler
on which he can program and I can learn to program in C (and all variations,
C++ etc.) I am familiar with the Microsoft Visual methods of programming in
various languages and applications. Primarily I would like to learn and use
the C compiler/GUI on Windows, but I would like to think that what I learn
can carry over to the Linux box as well, should I decide to program in
Linux. From what I understand, GCC and its various libraries are available
for Windows. Neither of us has ever worked with GCC and know nothing about
it. Below are several questions. Thank you all in advance for your
patience and answers.
From where do I download GCC for Windows in a usable format?
I followed the GCC website but got lost somewhere. I think I found it
somewhere in .HZ format but I have no way to unzip it.
Does GCC or any other freely licensed version have a GUI interface such as
MS Visual C?
Is GCC a good compiler on which to learn C?
What all do I need to download and install to have a complete and usable
compiler?
What don't I know to ask?
Thank you,
Buck

Yeah, saw that. I am not a gcc developer.. so dont know what is the
difference between bootstrap and without. All I can say is

And it passed my sanity test too.... it builds a working 2.6.9-rc2-mm1.

I did this a while ago and my info might have been obsoleted :)
Anyway just to upgrade the gcc with same binutils and stuff hwat I did is,
iirc...
1. configure with necessary option
2. make
3. make install
ofcourse you would want this to install in a different location so it wont
corrupt the pre existing gcc.

How long did you wait before deciding that it is looping? The thing is
that when you run make bootstrap, it _does_ do more configuration of
some of the source trees under the main source directory, so this is
expected to an extent. Not to sound too dubious, but it can take
anywhere from, say, 15 minutes to several hours to build GCC depending
on the machine you're building on. So, if you waited only a couple
minutes and decided it was looping, I'm not sure you waited long enough
to let it do what it's got to do...
Thanks,
Lyle

ya that is the problem, the make processs is looping and every time it
keeps showing same things as below :
some ..checking ..yes / no ...
creating ./config.status
CONFIG_FILES=Makefile CONFIG_HEADERS= /bin/sh ./config.status
creating Makefile
THis things appears again and again. I even checked with diff. the same
thing is getting printed.

This raises an interesting question which the install docs have not clarified to my satisfaction. Suppose you already have a working gcc tool chain and you are doing what the original poster is, getting a later release up. Are there make targets more suitable for this? It has always seemed a little odd to me to have to do the bootstrap every time.

You dont need bootstrap, unless you want to work on gcc itself.

Virender,
They happen many, many times. I don't know how long the bootstrap process takes in your environment but in my experience it's like sausage. You'll enjoy it more if you don't watch it being made.
Of course if you have evidence that the make process is stuck looping without making headway, that is a different problem and you should provide the evidence as it will help us help you.
cheers,
Gerard
