From: "Neulinger, Nathan" To: "Wolfgang Bangerth" Cc: Subject: RE: other/1512: Path confusion w/ -print-prog-name + autoconf Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 13:53:00 -0600 Yes, gcc 3.2.1 still generates paths containing bin/../lib mkdir /tmp/c ln -s /umr/s/gcc321/install/redhat71/lib /tmp/c/lib ln -s /umr/s/gcc321/install/redhat71/bin /tmp/c/bin /tmp/c/bin/gcc -print-prog-name=3Dld /tmp/c/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../../i686-pc-li nux-gnu/bin/ld There's nothing _wrong_ with that path, but I figured that having gcc generate a path without the ..'s would help the situation some. (The bin/../lib is where the problem occurs if autoconf uses non-intelligent handling of .. in paths containing symlinked dirs.) /tmp/c/bin/.. !=3D /tmp/c if /tmp/c/bin is a symlink.=20 As people are more likely to install updated O/S with new gcc, fixing here is more likely to have a benefical impact than getting everyone to move to new autoconf, especially for older products.=20 -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: nneul@umr.edu University of Missouri - Rolla Phone: (573) 341-4841 Computing Services Fax: (573) 341-4216 > -----Original Message----- > From: Wolfgang Bangerth [mailto:bangerth@ticam.utexas.edu]=20 > Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 8:46 AM > To: Neulinger, Nathan > Cc: gcc-gnats@gcc.gnu.org > Subject: Re: other/1512: Path confusion w/ -print-prog-name + autoconf >=20 >=20 >=20 > > Please let me know if I can explain this further.
