Small problem with GDB 4.10
Matthew Jackson
-----
I have just grabbed GDB 4.10 and installed it under Linux (0.99pl11,
libc4.4.1) using ./configure --prefix=/usr i46-linux. GDB itself seems
to run okay (with limited testing) but there is a small problem with
the installation of the info files from the etc directory.
The other Makefiles have an install-info target which has
for i in *.info*; do \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(infodir)/$$i ; \
done
While the etc directory has
for i in *.info*; do \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(infodir) ; \
done
On my system, this created a whole hierarchy of *directories*
/usr/info/abc.info-1 /usr/info/abc.info-2 /usr....
(Note the spaces).
Changing the etc/Makefile to correspond with the others solved the
problem.
-----
I hope this will help others who want to install gdb 4.10
Happy Linuxing,
