Suggest grabbing a snapshot from the latest (5.3) branch:

it is fixed in the next GDB release.
OK, I grabbed gdb+dejagnu.tar.bz2 which appears to be symlinked to
gdb+dejagnu-5.2.90_20020917.tar.bz2. I am getting a configure error:
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
configure: error: source directory already configured; run make
distclean there first
configure: error:
.../../../../gdb+dejagnu-5.2.90_20020917/dejagnu/example/calc/configure
failed for example/calc
Configure in /export/home0/software/build/build-gdb/dejagnu failed,
exiting.
I think the snapshot (and hence the release :-() process is leaving a
stray file behind. (I also recall someone mentioning this before :-( ).The config.log file in the calc subdirectory looks clean (though there
is a confdefs.h file left over containing only a single newline
character):
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
configure:562: checking for a BSD compatible install
configure:615: checking whether build environment is sane
configure:672: checking whether make sets ${MAKE}
I then tried the suggested action of running make distclean in the GDB
source directory but that results in:
make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop.
I get the same error in the dejagnu subdirectory but I get a different
error in the dejagnu/example subdirectory:
Makefile:317: warning: overriding commands for target `check-recursive'
Makefile:111: warning: ignoring old commands for target
`check-recursive'
make: *** No rule to make target `../config.status', needed by
`Makefile'. Stop.
In the dejagnu/example/calc subdirectory, I get the same error minus
the two warnings.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem? Should I try
yesterday's snapshot instead? I am building GDB in a separate directory
outside of the source tree as I usually do and the source tree is clean
from the tarball.
Thanks for the help!
