I recently installed the cross compiler version of gcc-2.4.5 on our sparc stations to compile to sun3-binaries. The installation, with newer versions of gas and the binutils went smoothly. Compiling small things ( hello.c ) work ok. However, it was the lure of compiling things like X or emacs that would take hours on the sun 3/60's we have that led me to make the cross compilers. Yet, these packages don't seem to have a consistent way of calling the compiler, ar, nm, strip, ranlib, so something simple like "make CC="sun3-gcc" doesn't often work for the entire build. So let me ask just about two that I need now. 1) building X11R5 from scratch on a sparc for a Sun3. 2) building emacs-19.18 or so on a sparc for a Sun3. What had to be done to build these? Thanks, Clarence
