I'd suggest rather than building your own from scratch, that you use Andris Pavenis's RPM files. They work just about perfectly, and contain a patch for the linker specfile without which your toolchain will work until you try and link a C++ program :) You can find the RPMs - both source and binary - at DJ Delorie's FTP site ftp://ftp.delorie.com/djgpp/rpms for the last "official" released version, which is 4.1.0. As of just yesterday, you can also get 4.1.2 from Andris Pavenis's site, which is http://ap1.pp.fi/djgpp/gcc/4.1.2/gcc412.html but note that this has had very little testing. If you are running a distro other than Red Hat you may have better luck rebuilding from the source RPM - my SuSE system had slightly different paths for some things which were hard-coded. I posted a patch to the source RPMs to deal with this just a few minutes ago, on the djgpp-workers list: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp-workers/2007/03/19/11:30:16 I haven't tried applying that patch to Andris's 4.1.2 stuff yet though. I would also strongly recommend using the very latest binutils, 2.17 - when I tried to use 2.16.1 I was running into this: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2005-03/msg00180.html I'm currently in the process of building ZIP packages of 2.17 for DJGPP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
