Say I've unpacked the tarball in my home directory, I would do something like: $ mkdir gcc-build $ cd gcc-build $ ../gcc-4.0.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.0.2 --enable-languages=c (And a few more flags but I've omitted them here.) $ make bootstrap $ make install The prefix is to not mess with the old gcc. If you keep the gcc-build directory you can install gcc 4.0.2 with $ make uninstall. The make all install you're doing I'm not familiar with. - Eric -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
