Install the compat-egcs packages from the RH7.2 CD, and then edit the Makefile replacing CC = gcc with CC = egcs. The other alternative is to grab the 2.95 sources and compile your own gcc.
I did a $find / | grep egcs and came up with egcs in /usr/bin and in the /usr/lib/gcc-lib I had a egcs-2.9.1.66 folder. Does this mean I need not bother with installing the compat-egcs. Would I totally screw things up if I did: #mv gcc gcc.bak #ln -s gcc egcs #mv g++ g++.bak #ln -s g++ egcs++ so that when I compile other things from source they'll automatically use egcs as well? Or am I trying to be too clever? lol Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze
Hi Ricardo As allways with linux, there is more than one way of doing things. Making symlinks to egcs is one way - It is what I did on my system originally. Then I compiled gcc-2.95. Regards, Paul. On Sunday 17 February 2002 11:06 pm, Ricardo Campos wrote:

You may be "locate egcs" to be a bit faster. -- http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/
