Bug ID: 92699
Summary: Slash should be removed from C/C++ plugin install
destination
Product: gcc
Version: 9.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: brechtsanders at users dot sourceforge.net
Target Milestone: ---
I was trying to GCC with the --enable-plugin parameter on Windows with
MinGW-w64.
There was an error in the installation which I was able to solve by fixing
gcc/c/Make-lang.in and gcc/cp/Make-lang.in with this command:
sed -i.bak -e "s?\(\$(DESTDIR)\)/\(\$(plugin_resourcesdir)\)?\1\2?"
gcc/c/Make-lang.in gcc/cp/Make-lang.in
Basically the slash in $(DESTDIR)/$(plugin_resourcesdir) should be removed, so
this reads as $(DESTDIR)$(plugin_resourcesdir), which is how it was done in the
line above it that makes the directory if needed.
Otherwise the path starts with 2 slashes, which on Windows would make it a UNC
path instead of a local path. I can image this probably worked on almost any
other OS.
