I can't install g++ following the instructions of the README file.

Scenario: g++-1.41.0, gcc-1.41, Sparc 2, SunOS 4.1.1

My directory structure is as follows:

-/gnu
-/gnu/gcc -> gcc-1.41
-/gnu/gcc-1.41
-/g++ (contains links to files in g++-1.41.0)
-/g++-1.41.0
-/gcc-test (empty)

I compiled gcc in gcc-1.41, it works fine. And I installed the binaries in
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib with make install.

Now I cd to g++ and follow the recommendations of g++/README. 

(step 0-2) followed as recommended. 

(step 3) I believe no modifications to Makefile are required.

(step 4) Apparently succeeds, with several "Error code (ignored)" messages.

(step 5) Apparently succeeds.

"make": fails immediately. ../gcc-test directory is empty. Here is the output
history: 

hancock% make
../gcc-test/gcc -g -DGATHER_STATISTICS -DNO_DYNAMIC_LIBS -O -B../gcc-test/ -I. -I. -I./config -g -o ccrt0.o -DOLD_FORMAT -c ccrt0.c
sh: ../gcc-test/gcc: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `ccrt0.o'



What is the gcc-test directory? How does it get filled? Or should it be a link
to the gcc directory? The README file says nothing about this. Please advise on
what to do.

Thanks,

David Cogen.
