Hi; Forgive these
newbie questions, but I *really* want to install Mailman!!! I tried the GCC
list but my questions weren�t answered. For the record, I own my own server and
it runs RedHat 6.2 (and I�m really not as dumb as these questions may make me
appear :) There they have the following installation instructions. My questions
are embedded: >>> Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be
built. This document describes the recommended configuration procedure for both
native and cross targets. <<< I�m not developing software: I only want to install Mailman. Is
this considered *native* or *cross-target*? >>> We use srcdir to
refer to the toplevel source directory for GCC; we use objdir to refer to the toplevel
build/object directory. <<< What is *toplevel source directory* and *toplevel build/object
directory*? Can you give me an example? >>> First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate
directory than the sources which does not reside within the source tree. This
is how we generally build GCC; building where srcdir
== objdir should still work, but
doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir
is a subdirectory of srcdir is
unsupported. <<< What does this mean? Can you give me an example? >>> Second, when configuring a native system, either "cc" or
"gcc" must be in your path or you must set CC in your environment
before running configure. Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail. <<< What does this mean? Can you give an example? TIA, BenO |
