Hi, I've compiled g++ for mingw with,
../gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/home/bobbybrasko/g++/prefixdir --host=mingw32 \ --target=mingw32 --program-prefix="" \ --program-suffix="-4.1" --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --enable-threads --disable-nls \ --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-win32-registry --disable-shared --without-x \ --enable-interpreter --enable-hash-synchronization --enable-libstdcxx-debug Since i've used a prefix, I'm assumming gcc wants to be installed where I told it to be. I'm wondering 2 things. What are the standard practices with installing multiple versions of gcc on a system. I renamed this gcc to be gcc-4.1. However, it looks like it will still overwrite some files when I do 'make install'. Is this true? How do people put multiple version on the same machine? Second, say I wanted to tar up a release of gcc that i've built for others to use. When the other user downloads and untars the file on there filesystem in an arbitrary point, I'm assumming it won't work because it's not in the --prefix=.. directory. Is it possible to get around this? I would like a user to be able to untar it anywhere, and have it work just fine. If this is possible, please advise. Thanks, Bob Rossi
