I'm just going through it now as it happens, here's a blow by blow set of instructions:
1> cd /usr/src # make the directory if it doesn't exist 2> cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gcc login 3> press the return key for the password 4> cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gcc co -r gcc-3_1-branch -d gcc-3_1 you should see a list of files as it grabs all the latest versions (if the server isn't too busy, if it is you may have to try again) once it has finished with no errors: 5> mkdir gcc-build-3_1 6> cd gcc-build-3_1 7> ../gcc-3_1/configure make sure the configuration completes with no error. 8> make bootstrap Make sure it completes with no error. (takes a while!) Now you have to remove the previous installation, especially if you installed gcc 3.0.x, go to the /usr/local/include directory if it exists... if there is a g++-v3 directory in there: type "mv g++-v3 g++-v3.old" to move it out of the way and prevent conflicts. (I got some weird stuff happening on my system) 9> make install 10> g++ --version This should display "v3.1 beta, Free software is not guaranteed to compile any code whatsoever".. or something along those lines ;-) Regards --------------------------------- Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com/personal/utils ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dockeen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 2:06 PM Subject: GCC-3.1/Cygwin > Care to give a simple blow by blow, suitable for > a retarded physicist on how you built under Cygwin? > > If you're too busy, no sweat, thanks for the inspiration... > > Wayne Keen -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
