Hi Peter,
tonite I tried to compile the new version of binutils (2.16.1)
on various SUN-Workstations without success.
(1) First of all, there saemas to be a bug, if you use
"./configure --prefix /usr/gnu"
I got errors when typeing "make" in the sub directories
"bfd" and "libiberty".
Presumably you mean the messages about "libintl.h" not being found ? If
so then you can add the "--disable-nls" switch to the configure command
line and this should resolve the problem. I think that the actual bug
is due to some strangeness with the installation of the intl package
under Solaris (but I could be mistaken about this).
(2) Question: Why is'nt there an uninstall feature, to get rid
of previous releases?
Because a simple recursive delete command will remove a release.
Alternatively if you obtained the old binutils release via an RPM or
some other kind of package managing tool you can always use the
uninstall feature of that tool.
Cheers
Nick
