I haven't read the egcs mailinglist in a few weeks, but my impression is that if you download egcs-g77-1.1.1.tar.gz after building the egcs C and C++ compilers, you then have to recompile at a minimum the C compiler. Things may have changed, but g77 is simply a frontend to the gcc backend. It is not a standalone compiler. -- Steve finger ka...@troutmask.apl.washington.edu http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~clesceri/kargl.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
