Subject:	Trying to compile new gcc, part 2

Some time ago I decided to learn to compile new versions of GCC using djgpp.
After downloading gcc-2.4.5.tar.gz to my unix machine (SGI Personal Iris)
and compiling gcc on it, I decided to do the same under DJGPP.
Having no idea about configuring gcc with its unix filenames and behaviors,
I send a mail to djgpp list. After two hours I received the mail from DJ
with some basic instructions and suggestion that all the info I need is 
included in FAQ file. Unfortunately this was false...
Here is a short summary of my adventures. If there is anyone who knows
what I need to get new gcc running and how can I compile it, please help.
Otherwise I will try to do it myself and post the detailed instructions
for others who would like to have an up-to-date version of gcc.

What we need:
	working djgpp system,
	a good make (DJ suggests NDMAKE, Borland make doesn'work,
		I couldn't get dmake running)
		make45l.exe file must be used, NOT make45.exe
	working (= non-MKS-toolkit) sed
		It happened to me to find one in my archives
	and something more, but I can't determine what :-(.

	well, we also need the newest gzip (1.2.x)...

Procedures:
	rename and download gcc-x.x.x.tgz
	gunzip it into .tar file
	djtarx the tar file, entering some dozens of new, DOS style filenames
	convert configur.bat into DOS text  file (unix2dos)
	run configur.bat
	run ndmake (make45l.exe)
	go for a cup of coffee
	check that make broken somewhere and the reason is something called
		genconfig
	drink a can of beer and go for a walk...
	send a mail to djgpp list, asking for help
	wait...

Good Luck,

Gregory
