I tried running 'configur.bat go32' and that seems to do something, I do get a makefile, but when I run it, I get numerous filename errors, and after spending hours going through the makefile shortening file names, and re-inserting tabs, and renaming files in the dir, I finally got down to the spot in the makefile where it is trying to compile stmt.c a few seconds after this starts, I get numerous errors from a file called bc-typecd.def and stmt.c looking at the file, nearly all the errors are referring to comment lines that perform no function in the file (as far as I know anyway). So I have come to the conclusion that either I haven't configured something right, or there is something wrong with gcc v2 (I have been using this same compiler for other programs, works fine..). My question is, shouldn't I be able to re-compile gcc with itself with no changes to the source? (just pkunzip -d gcc272s.zip). Would someone mind posting what exactly I should do to get this to work, I have read the faqs on this compiler and unless I missed somthing, I didn't see any explicit instructions on how to do this. My system is a pentium 100Mhz running windows95 & dos ( I can select either windows95 or real dos when I boot up, I tried both operating systems), also I have all the development tools for gcc. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jonathan Bailey jbailey AT ols DOT net or jbailey AT rbdc DOT rbdc DOT com
