Richrd,

In building GDB5.3 from the sources I had to make the follwoing change
(besides the djconfig.sh mod for P4 building):-
1) The makefile in the readline directory had hardcoded directory
references, they were:-
    BUILD_DIR = c:/temp/distmake/gdb53s/gnu/gdb-5.3/readline

  When this was changed to the gdb makefile worked correctly:
    BUILD_DIR = /dev/env/DJDIR/gnu/gdb-5.3/readline

I had a look at the GDB 5.2.1 readline\makefile and it also has a hardcoded
directory BUILD_DIR so the problem looks like it's in the configure stage.
Teo options here as far as I can see, 1) Fix configure, 2) Modify the readme
to indicate that you will need to manually modify the readline/makefile if
you do not perform the configure stage.


I do not know if this is a problem or not with the GDB info files:
1) I ran 'make info' as I have done with 5.x.x and it produced the docs, but
I couldn't see any output info files being produced. I deleted the
gdb\doc\gdb.info file and ran 'make info' again and thegot the following
info files:
    gdb.info,     gdb.info-1   ....  gdb.info-15
Any ideas on why I got 16 files instead of the one as was in the
source/binary package?

2) It looks like the output info files from the gdb\doc directory were
included the source as follows:-
    DJGPP_204 D:\dj204\gnu\gdb-5.3>dir *.inf* /s
