I recently obtained GCC/2 from an FTP site.  The package included
the following zip files...

BASE254.ZIP
C254.ZIP
CPLUS254.ZIP
DEV254.ZIP
MAN254.ZIP
OBJC254.ZIP
SAMPL254.ZIP
TEXI254.ZIP

I tried to compile one of the samples in the samples
directory by typeing in:

MAKE MAKEFILE

and 

MAKE < MAKEFILE

However, it just said that it could not find NMAKE (which
is not in the ZIPs the I got)

I also tried compiling the program "on the spot" by using
gcc -O sample1.c -o SAMPLE1.EXE

However I got:
cpp: W:/gcc2/tmp/cc000122.i: Bad file descriptor

Am I missing anything?

BTW, I installed GCC in a FAT partition... would it make
a difference if I installed it in an HPFS partition?

N.B. IMHO, it shouldn't GCC/2 should be smart enough to
concatenate the include file names in the include and
source files to MS-DOS's 8.3 format if the file is
located in a FAT partition.  At least in the preprocessor
and it should just print out a warning if the file name
is longer than it should.

For example:
In file included from sample2.cc:1:
W:/gcc2/gppincl/iostream.h:25: streambuf.h: File name too long
In file included from W:/gcc2/gppincl/iolibio.h:1,
                 from W:/gcc2/gppincl/libioP.h:30,
                 from W:/gcc2/gppincl/iostream.h:26,
                 from sample2.cc:1:
W:/gcc2/gppincl/libio.h:35: _G_config.h: File name too long
cpp: W:/gcc2/tmp/cc000124.i: Bad file descriptor

P.S., I am just starting C so for now I think it is _beyond_ my
power to modify the source code of GCC to make the suggestions
I pointed.

BTW, I am also using v.2.5.4 is there a more recent version (or
patch?)  And where can I get it if it does exist?
