gcc build process not finding gcc/config/i386

gcc build process not finding gcc/config/i386

[Jonathan Wilson]

I am building with these settings:
sh ../gcc/configure --srcdir=../gcc --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as 
--host=mingw32 --build=mingw32 --target=mingw32 --prefix=/mingw 
--enable-threads --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,f77 
--disable-win32-registry --disable-shared --enable-sjlj-exceptions 
--disable-libstdcxx-pch --enable-threads=win32
build enviroment is msys + msysdtk + mingw32
source is in c:\gcc
objdir is c:\gccobj
build fails with "cant find <some header file thats in gcc/config/i386>"
symlinking c:\gcc\gcc\config\i386 to c:\gccobj\gcc\config\i386 worked and 
enabled the build to continue but I would like to know what could be 
causing the problem in the first place...

IIRC, it was libgcc2 that complained...

Don't use those unless the automatic configury arrives at the wrong answer.

If all three are the same, you don't need any of them.  See the configuration
instructions.


You should probably be asking the MinGW mailing list these questions,
and consider using a binary package to save yourself the trouble.
