I set out to do the same thing for the version of GDB (4.16) that is part of FreeBSD. This is on a 2.2.8-Stable system. I successfully built TeX and MetaFont. I built dvips. I built Ghostscript and integrated it with my printer spooler. I generated "refcard.ps" from the distributed "refcard.dvi" and printed it. So, emboldened, I went to /usr/src/contrib/gdb/gdb/doc to try to make the manual. However, it was clear from the existance of "Makefile.in" and "configure.in" without their matching files that "configure" had not been run for this build. Apparently not necessary for a "make world". However, a "./configure" from /usr/src/contrib/gdb fails. First being unable to locate a "install-sh". If I copy one of those into its path from some other GNU directory it then fails with a missing "config.sub" file. Should the -stable tree be able to build GNU documentation from any of the subdirectories? What steps should I take to generate a current GDB manual? -crl -- Chad R.
