Using mingw-pkg to build gcc 5.3.0

[David Gressett-5]

I have set up the downloaded gcc 5.3.0 with src and adjacent build
directories, with gmp, mpfr, and mpc set up in the appropriate
places. There are no problems here, this is all the same as I did for
builds of previous releases.

I have used git to get  mingw-pkg from
https://sourceforge.net/u/keithmarshall/mingw-pkg/ci/master/tree/

Now I do have problems. How do I install and configure mingw-pkg
so that  I can use it?

I found no useful information at www.mingw.org - the web site has
not been updated.

Conventionally; assuming you unpacked to $HOME/mingw-pkg-0.1.0:

  $ mkdir $HOME/mingw-pkg-0.1.0/build
  $ cd $HOME/mingw-pkg-0.1.0/build
  $ ../configure && make && make install

will set it up in /usr/local; if you want it elsewhere, e.g. /mingw,
add ' --prefix=/mingw' to the configure command, (or alternatively,
append ' prefix=/mingw' to the 'make install' command.

You may then wish to customize it, by creating a $HOME/.mingw-pkgrc
configuration file; e.g. mine (for cross-compiling) is attached.

No joy - I get
sh: ../configure: No such file or directory

The mingw-pkg-0.1.0 directory contains three files:
Makefile.in
configure.ac
install-sh

and two directories
build (which I just created)
src

The contents of src and its subdirectories seems to be entirely
shell scripts.

So, you need to run autoconf, to generate it from configure.ac:

  $ cd $HOME/mingw-pkg-0.1.0
  $ autoconf

Then you can cd to the build subdirectory, and the conventional
build sequence should run, as above.  (You may also wish to delete
the entire autom4te.cache subdirectory, created by autoconf; it is
of no further use to you).
