error while compiling gcc

Question

I'm trying to compile gcc-code-assist which has the code completion feature in order to use it with emacs. However i have been getting this error message while compilinng

checking for exception model to use... configure: error: unable to detect exception model
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dev/workspace/trash/gcc-code-assist-0.1-4.4.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit what can i do to overcome this problem

Doing some Google searches on this error it sounds like you have an incorrect spelling somewhere in your makefile or an incorrect path specified. Could you post the code inside the makefile? This link also might help you. gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-11/msg01262.html — HopAlongPolly

I found the right way to compile it ... I really didn't have much knowledge of how to compile gcc (my first time) after reading through the FAQ of building gcc I found the problem. it turned out that I had to run the configure script and make from outside the source directory ( I called it gcc-build) so the directory list looked like this

gcc-source/
gcc-build/

then everything compiled smoothly here's the link to the FAQ http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure
