Others may also work. (FYI, beta 16 was built under Linux and beta 17 under Solaris). You can stop after the first configure,make,make install if you only want crosstools. Also, sorry but please don't bug me if these don't work for you. These sorts of builds can get really complicated and I don't have time to help out. :-( Here's what to do on your Unix box: ----------------------------------- /path/to/src/configure --target=i386-cygwin32 -v --prefix=/path/to/installdir make make install /path/to/src/configure --build=i486-linux --host=i386-cygwin32 \ --target=i386-cygwin32 -v --prefix=/path/to/second/installdir make make install /path/to/user-tools-src/configure --build=i486-linux --host=i386-cygwin32 \ --target=i386-cygwin32 -v --prefix=/path/to/second/installdir make make install ------------------------ And that should do it. -- Geoffrey Noer noer@cygnus.com - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
