I know exactly what you mean, tutorial wise :-) What you'll need to do is take a look at cgf's reply to my observation which gives you the configure line. Just change the paths, a little hint you'll need to build gcc and binutils in different directories from the source. Perhaps you'll want to use the uberbaum source too, to simplify things as we know if works for Chris. I know that's not giving you much, but you'll have to knock up the courage to hunt the (cross)gcc lists for more details if needed. Ditto for binutils. > maybe cgf wants to share a bit of his wisdom? :) I dowt that ;-) Regards, Elfyn McBratney [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.exposure.org.uk -- 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/
