misplaced directory

misplaced directory

[Bill Walker]

Under SCO OSR 5.0.2 and SCO OSR 5.0.4, the installation process for
egcs-1.0, with the additional libg++.2.8.0b6.4  seems to make a directory
called "gen" which contains some C++ header files.  That directory
is ending up directly under "/", rather than somewhere in the /usr/local/lib
hierarchy, where it probably should go.  I built the installation tree
in a directory which is separate from the distribution files.

Did it to me on two separate machines.    :=(

I'll have a look tonight to see where I think it should go, and post
(I hope) something more helpful.  This is just a "heads-up".

Bill

Please get libg++.2.8.0b6.5.

"gen" is part of the libg++ add-on, not of egcs itself.  It's where those
ancient pseudo-templates go (for Doug Lea's container classes, the ones
that were designed before C++ had real templates).

It should be $prefix/include/g++/gen .  But if this is getting messed
up, you need to make sure that the "genclass" program looks in that
directory.

Been there. The gxx_includedir (note missing underscore) patch that
has been bundled into libg++-2.8.0b6.5 fixed this for me.

	Done.  It was successful.  Thanks!
