- I just got the gnu gcc-2.2.2 distribution from uunet and have been
- having a couple of small problems compiling it. Essentially, the enquire
- program locks up after outputting (from enquire -f) :
-
- /* Minimum int x such that 10**x is a normalised float */
- #define FLT_MIN_10_EXP (-37)
-
- I've tried all types of compiles for enquire.c, using the stock ISC 3.0
- cc, gcc 2.1, various and sundry options, all to no avail.
-
- The system was configured with "configure --target=i386-*-isc"
- and a regular "make LANGUAGES=c" was run. Everything ran fine until
- the "enquire -f" line was run, then it just sat there.
-
- We don't have Bison installed, but the c-parse.? and cexp.? files are
- dated thusly :

- I noticed a similar situation when compiling perl 4.035 (also from
- uunet). When running Configure, the "try.c" program that checks to see
- if the C compiler can cast weird floats to unsigned would lock up the
- same way.
-
- Does this sound familiar to anyone ? Has anyone built gcc 2.2.2 (or
- perl 4.035) under ISC 3.0 ? We got perl compiled ok, and it seems to
- work fine, passed the "make tests" run, but what's the deal with these
- lockups ?
-
- Please mail me directly as we don't get this group regularly ... thanks
- for any help in advance ...
