Hi Angelo, true, it is not Fortran-specific. I used this mailing-list because I am familiar with it and because the purpose of this attempt was to see if I can in some way contribute other things than bug reports ;).
The error you refer to is actually an error in the C source, whereas the build error I got has something to do with the Makefiles. As for the build experiment itself: - I downloaded the 4.8.1 source - I configured the Makefiles with this command: ./configure --prefix=d:/gcc-src/gcc - Then I ran make and the error message I reported before. (It is not impossible that the error is a consequence of the permission errors I got before - they are not completely gone yet, as they re-surfaced in another project.) If I understand the issue correctly, I can probably get rid of it tomorrow - as then the laptop will be connected to the proper domain. Anyway. thanks for the reaction. I will see if I can analyse it further.
