Hi,

My name is Hans Dekker and I obtained the GNU C/C++ V2.1.7 compiler from the
machine ftp.win.tue.nl. First, it was hard to uncompress the files since I needed
a GNU unzip utility ( I have a clean Sun system with no such utilities). 
I tried to get gunzip over from the same machine but it failed to run for some reason. Fortunately a supplier got me a 'gunzip' program and I was able to unpack the
whole thing and start building the package.

Next I needed a tex program to printout the manuals. I tried to download it but
I wasn't able to get it running either because the manual of that package said I
should order a CD with the tex program, for which I can't wait for at the moment.
Fortunately a colleague could help to print the manuals out....

I was ready to start compiling the whole thing when an error occurred during the
first make. The message was as follows:

make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `cppalloc.o'

After a few days of searching I found that the Makefile generated by configure
was not correctly setup. I inserted the following lines at line 2051:

cppalloc.o: cppalloc.c scan.h $(build_xm_file)
        $(HOST_CC) -c $(HOST_CFLAGS) $(HOST_CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) $(srcdir)/cppalloc.c

This seemed to compile gnu C correctly. I have the following questions for you:


- Is the error with cppalloc known to you? If yes, please adjust your configure
script so other users won't suffer from it anymore.

- Did I implement the lines with cppalloc correctly? Please let me know what 
should change.

- Is it possible to have some basic unzip program that can read the .gz files in
the distribution area. This would be very useful in order to quickly set up a GNU
environment and not to scan GNU sites to find a right unzip/zip utility.

- idem for the text formatting programs.

For your information, I use the following system:

Workstation:			Sun Sparcstation 5
architecture:			sun4m
Operating system version:	SunOS 4.1.4
GNU C/C++			2.1.7
PATH				/usr/bin:/usr/5bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/local/bin:/export/newsprint/bin:/usr/etc:.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH			/usr/openwin/lib
shell:				/bin/csh

Kind regards,


Hans Dekker
