I really appreciate all of your help. When it wasn't working for me, neither
srcdir nor objdir was a parent of the other.
I had ~jdeifik/gnu/gcc-3.0/... where the source was and I had
~jdeifik/gnu/objdir . That is what I reported in the bug report.
thanks,

Yes, I understood that. Did you try my original suggestion?

srcdir == objdir is supposed to work. We just don't test it very
often.
What doesn't work at all is when srcdir is a parent of objdir or vice
versa.

The rest of the explanation still holds, though.

Yes, and they do, but the instructions right here tell you 'mkdir
objdir, cd objdir' immediately before that. I think the use of a
relative path is more consistent with the rest of the instructions.

Thanks. Will send patch.

This is jeff deifik (from my home domain).
I was able to successfully build gcc-3.0 by building in the
gcc-3.0 tree. I know you folks said not to do it, but someone else
at work did it successfully, and I was at wits end due to the
make bootstrap bug I reported.
The build went fine, the install went fine, and my personal test cases work
fine.
There does seem to be a problem with the 'make -k check' part, not
being able to find a bunch of files, but I didn't report that, since I *was*
building in the source directory.
I suspect there is something wrong with the documented procedure to
have objdir != srcdir, since I was able to build when objdir == srcdir.
thanks,

The point of referring to CVS is that checking out from CVS will check out
into a "gcc" directory rather than a gcc-version directory.

Both relative and absolute paths for srcdir ought to work.

gcc/doc/install.texi on mainline (which should probably be merged to the
branch when the branch reopens), online version generated by
update_web_docs run from cron.
