- A friend picked up the 1.37 GCC stuff from somewhere (probably
- nmrdc1.nmrdc.nnmc.navy.mil, but he doesn't remember...) and I started
- trying to get GCC to work. But as listed below, I ran into problems.
- So I sent the following mail to Alan and Richard (listed as authors
- of the the GCC patches) but haven't had a reply yet.
-
- My question is simple. Have any of you been able to get the
- 1.37 GCC binaries in the gccbin directory to work on a 386 MINIX
- system? If so, could you send me a listing of your gccbin directory,
- the checksums for gcc-as, gcc-cpp, and gcc-ld, and if possible,
- the "od -c" output for the first 32 bytes of each of the files.
-
- Thanks,
-

- |Alan, Richard,
- |
- |I'm trying to get your gcc 1.37 port running on my 386 box, but
- |I'm running into some problems. I've got Bruce Evans' 386 patches
- |installed, and am able to rebuild the system in 32-bit mode.
- |A friend FTP'd your directory from nmrdc1.nmrdc.nnmc.navy.mil
- |and I went to work.
- |
- |But for some reason I can't exec the binaries in the gccbin directory
- |(gcc-as, gcc-cpp, gcc-ld). At first I figured they were gnu a.out
- |format, so I ran gcc2minix (which does exec OK..) on them, but
- |gcc2minix gives an error message "Bad magic number 0x10100301".
- |So, apparently, the binaries aren't in asld a.out format (otherwise
- |I'd be able to exec them from the shell..) and they're not in
- |gcc a.out format either.
- |
- |So I went to the src dirctory, and tried to build gcc-as from
- |source. But bcc chokes on "unsigned int r_pcrel:1;" in a.out.gnu.h,
- |so I can't build gas from source, either..
- |
- |Any ideas?
