sorry, was supposed to include this in the first post the instructions from the osdept: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a patch for gcc 2.95.3 to produce an OS4 compiler. To rebuild the source, get ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz. Unpack the source, change to the directory of the source code, and apply the diff (unpack it first): > tar xvzf gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz > cd gcc-2.95.3 > bzcat <path/to/patch/>gcc-2.95.3.patch.bz2 | patch -p 1 To build the compiler, create a new directory (outside the gcc source tree), and configure the compiler: > mkdir gcc-build > cd gcc-build > ../gcc-2.95.3/configure --host=<desired host system> --target=ppc-amigaos --build=<your build system> -enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-haifa --disable-shared --prefix=<path/to/install/to> > make > make install For more information about configuring and building gcc, see the gcc doumentation in gcc-2.95.3/install ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- things that could have been slightly wrong? I created gcc-build outside the actual gcc-2.95.3 directory... would creating it inside gcc-2.95.3 but outside the gcc dir make any difference? everything seemed to work just fine... I set --prefix=/SDK/ and host and build to ppc-amigaos Regards David ~Yes I am a Kiwi, No, I did not appear as an extra in 'Lord of the Rings'~ ______________________________________________________________________________ Amiga Development tools ML - //www.freelists.org/list/adtools Homepage...................: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/adtools Listserver help............: mailto:adtools-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=HELP
