            Bug ID: 16090
           Summary: Error in gdb-7.6.1/gdb/data-directory/Makefile.in
                    install-python rule
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: gmc444 at yahoo dot com

In this Makefile, the  $INSTALL_DATA command looks like this:
      $(INSTALL_DATA) ./$(PYTHON_DIR)/$$file $(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR)/$$dir ; 

This fails on the Python files to be installed with a file not found error.
Correcting it to 
      $(INSTALL_DATA) ./$(PYTHON_SRCDIR)/$$file $(PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR)/$$dir ; 

allowed the install to complete successfully. This was with a tarred version I
downloaded on Oct. 23.

My build environment was Solaris 10. I was using gcc 4.8.1.

--- Comment #2 from Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat dot com> ---
I think "make all" should have copied the python files
into the relevant directory.
We stage them for install in this funny way so that
you can set gdb up to run from the build directory,
and still have it find its python code.
I don't know why this didn't work for you.
Please try "make all" first in data-directory.
