I'd like to add some source and header files into gcc. I think I probably need to make some change in Makefile.in. But the Makefile.in looks very complicated. Could anyone give some advice on this?
google("make tutorial"). After that, you can just fire up your favorite editor and try it. If it is too hard, try creating your own for a hello world style program and get that working, then, progressively add more complex features to the makefile that approximate the things that are unclear to you.
Another completely different way would be to find a file that someone added recently that is approximately like the file you want to add, then find the diff that added that file, then see what they change and how, you can try and structure your change the same way. The classes of file to add include makefile fragments, port files, runtime files, language front end files, backend files, optimizer files and so on, all of them have different ways of going in.
