Re: CVS head building failed


Hi Masaki,

Then, I can't see why I failed to build...

Good point. I have investigated a little further...


>> $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src export -d
>>   binutils-head -r HEAD binutils

It failed because of a bug in the "cvs" command. The "-d binutils-head" option was causing it to check out the contents of *all* of the top level binutils subdirectories into one directory called "binutils-head". ie the contents of the bfd/ directory and the contents of the ld/ directory and the contents of the gas/ directory (etc) were all being placed into the binutils-head directory, rather than into sub-directories (called bfd, ld, gas etc) of the binutils-head directory.

As a workaround you could use the following two commands:

  $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src export -r HEAD
     binutils
  $ mv src binutils-head

Cheers
  Nick
