The binary is already up end running one my PC (pentium 100, Win NT 3.51). I need a compiler for m68K-coff. I want to use it to generate code to run on US-robotics Pilot. I have already tried the "Feb 26 - win32-pilot-gcc", but these have limits on both code and data size (less than 32K), and I need data and code size of some hundred Kb. My idea is to use a standard Gcc m68k cross compiler and standard coff format (hopefully with no limitations on code and data sizes). And to put the user interface and OS calls in a smaller program generated with the already existent win32-pilot-gcc, which have all the necessary PalmOs library interface up and running, and start the big coff code from these smaller "win32-pilot-gcc" generated program and have these two programs interact with each other. These save me from a lot of work with PalmOS interface libraries. The problem is that I have never before built a Gcc cross compiler, assembler and linker from the source. And I have spent a lot of time reading the readme- and install files, but I do not manage to make these new compiler. Is there anyone who can give me a list of the steps I have to go to build a GNU-Win32 gcc cross compiler, assembler and linker which can produce m68k coff format executable files, running on Win NT 3.51 pentium PC? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
