RE: Promblem compiling GDB 6.3 on solaris 2.6--don't know how to make target doc/observer.texi


After some trial and error, I successfully compiled gdb. The action I've taken
is :
1. replace the sun make with gmake
2. run configure with the full path, instead of the relative path to the build dir.

thank Dave for your information, anyway!
