You may have to do this by manually adding these to the source files where build stops and complains. And I also tried gcc 3.0, but the configure script >complained about not knowing what to do for a host of i586-pc-beos. Seems there is no beos anymore... ;-/ Since beos uses the same binary format as linux (ELF) configure as i586-pc-linux - oh, at least for your intel pc. Don't know which fileformat is used for apple but you can also configure by choosing the fileformat (i586-pc-elf). Michael Noisternig > >So.. I'm guessing I'm missing something here.
