Hello All,

As you probably know, gengtype is useful for plugins, and they also need the gtype.state
file.

However, the current GCC trunk still don't seem to install it.

[several distributions, including Mandriva & Debian, are patching GCC for that purpose]

And GCC installation procedure and gcc/Makefile.in really give me a headache, and I don't
understand enough of it to be able to propose an acceptable patch.

Could any knowledgable person help in that. I'm sure that for people really understanding
GCC building procedure (which I am not), proposing a patch to install gengtype is even
simpler than explaining how it should be done.


I was told that for reasons I don't understand, gengtype would have to be compiled twice
(once in build and once in "host" mode, whatever that means exactly).

trunk is coming out of stage 1, and I am afraid that even gcc-4.7 won't have gengtype
installed.

Regards.

PS. I really cannot write a patch for that, I don't understand the makefile & configure
tricks enough.

Hi,

I don't understand, you supported my patch when i contributed it, which performs exactly what you want ! Gengtype and gtype.state get installed in the trunk for more than a month !

Romain.

Sorry for the noise. Yes, gengtype is installed now. I looked too quickly in the
gcc/Makefile.in.

Cheers.
