It just takes a long time to run. :(
OK, that works with a modification. What needs to be done is: mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build mkdir -p gcc/doc touch gcc/gcc-vers.texi cp ../gcc-4.7.2/gcc/doc/*.info gcc/doc The key is the touch because otherwise gcc/gcc-vers.texi is generated and that forces make to try to rebuild the .info files. The touch must occur before the cp command We could simplify slightly with: mkdir -vp ../gcc-build/gcc/doc touch ../gcc-build/gcc/gcc-vers.texi cp gcc/doc/*.info ../gcc-build/gcc/doc cd ../gcc-build What we have now in Chapter 5 is preferable because it avoids extra work and putting the info files in /tools. The above only is needed in Chapter 6 if we want to bother. I guess another option is to maintain the current suppression of the info file rebuild and manually install the .info files after make install. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
