I guess mine counts as successful, it works in that I can compile simple hello-world C++ programs, but I haven't tried running them, I don't yet have cygwin on my box (yet to install windows...). Below, /asis is untarred GNU releases. ~/dev/cygwin/src is my cygwin repository checkout. Here we go -- get sources first: mkdir -p /home/lat/dev/gnu/src/gcc-3.2.2/linux-x-cygwin cd !$ lndir /asis/src/GNU.LANG/gcc-3.2.2 . rm -fr libiberty mkdir cygwin lndir ~/dev/cygwin/src cygwin cd cygwin mv bfd binutils gas intl libiberty ld mmalloc newlib opcodes winsup .. cd include for f in *.h */; do [ -e ../../include/$f ] && rm -f ../../include/$f; done cd .. mv include/* ../include cd .. rm -fr cygwin rm libiberty/cplus-dem.c ln -s /asis/src/GNU.LANG/gcc-3.2.2/libiberty/cplus-dem.c libiberty Build Cygwin cross compiler: mkdir -p /home/lat/dev/gnu/build/gcc-3.2.2/linux-x-cygwin cd !$ ../../../src/gcc-3.2.2/linux-x-cygwin/configure \ --prefix=/home/lat/dev/gnu/linux-x-cygwin \ --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --target=i686-pc-cygwin --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \ --enable-threads=no --with-mmap --enable-bfd-assembler \ --enable-languages="c,c++" make -kj4 cross make -kj4 cross make -kj4 install-cross # Edit the specs (*startfile:) for full path to *crt.o (two places) //lat -- Real Programmers don't need comments -- the code is obvious. -- 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/
