No, that's exactly what you should NOT do: you are attempting to build inside the same folder where the source is. You need to create a DIFFERENT (really empty, as opposed to full of a bunch of source files) folder, say: /usr/local/build-binutils/ and do this: $ cd /usr/local/build-binutils/ $ /usr/local/binutils-2.21/configure (options) $ make -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
