Last month you described in detail how to install gpc. Almost everything worked, but I can't install as root on the system since I am not an admin.
Your instructions were:
Install (as root):
cd gcc make pascal.install-with-gccFor laughs I tried it:
/users/tds/now/gpc/gpc-build/gcc> make pascal.install-with-gcc make: don't know how to make pascal.install-with-gcc. Stop
Oh well! I didn't expect it to work, but this mesage is not right - it should have objected about permissiones or something.
Strange. I admit that I've never used this make target personally, maybe I just misinterpreted the docs.
Anyway, if you need to install GPC in other place than /usr/local/bin, you must tell it to `configure' _before_ the compilation, e.g.
../gcc-2.95.2/configure --prefix=/some/dir --enable-languages=pascal
This puts binaries into /some/dir/bin, the manual into /some/dir/info etc. If you install this way in a personal directory, it doesn't matter much which make target you use, so if `make pascal.install-with-gcc' doesn't work, do simple `make install' (from the build directory, not from its gcc subdirectory).

How do I do the final step to install in a directory that I pick?
Thanks, Tom
