[gnu.g++] g++ installation problems

fred@cs.utexas.edu (Fred Hosch) (05/08/89)

We are trying to install gnu.g++ on a Sun 3/280 running SunOs 4.0.1.
We got gnu.gcc 1.3.5 and gnu.g++ 1.34.2 from some Utexas machines,
and from prep.ai.mit.  We also have the gnu.lib.g++ version 1.35.0.

Unfortunately, the thing doesn't want to install; the shell scripts that
come with the installation tar files, and the Makefiles as well, seem
to expect a directory structure that is not created when the files
are untarred.

Has anyone else had lots of trouble getting this installation to work?
We are at wits end and would appreciate any help you can lend.  Please
mail responses directly to either kam@titan.tsd.arlut.utexas.edu or
to lofaso@titan.tsd.arlut.utexas.edu.

Thanks in advance    :-)

Yep - the 1.35.0 gcc directory structure moved the configuration files
down a level.  1.34.2 g++ didn't know about that.  I believe 1.35.0 does.
