The configured +source files, and the binaries, are left in the corresponding source +directories. +</p> +<p><samp>configure</samp> is a Bourne-shell (<code>/bin/sh</code>) script; if your +system does not recognize this automatically when you run a different +shell, you may need to run <code>sh</code> on it explicitly: +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">sh configure +</pre></div> + +<p>You should run the <samp>configure</samp> script from the top directory in the +source tree, the <samp>gdb-<var>version-number</var></samp> directory. If you run +<samp>configure</samp> from one of the subdirectories, you will configure only +that subdirectory. That is usually not what you want. In particular, +if you run the first <samp>configure</samp> from the <samp>gdb</samp> subdirectory +of the <samp>gdb-<var>version-number</var></samp> directory, you will omit the +configuration of <samp>bfd</samp>, <samp>readline</samp>, and other sibling +directories of the <samp>gdb</samp> subdirectory. This leads to build errors +about missing include files such as <samp>bfd/bfd.h</samp>. +</p> +<p>You can install <code><small>GDB</small></code> anywhere. The best way to do this +is to pass the <code>--prefix</code> option to <code>configure</code>, and then +install it with <code>make install</code>. +</p> +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Separate-Objdir.html#Separate-Objdir" accesskey="n" rel="next">Separate Objdir</a>, Previous: <a href="Requirements.html#Requirements" accesskey="p" rel="previous">Requirements</a>, Up: <a href="Installing-GDB.html#Installing-GDB" accesskey="u" rel="up">Installing GDB</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Concept-Index.html#Concept-Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
