I am trynig to compile gcc 1.40 on an ISC 386 box (Yeah I know 2.0) is out & the whole world is working on that. Well we have 1.40 & I suspect it's probably a more stable item at this time , if I'm wrong about that please tell me). Anyway it is my understnading that this system uses COFF so I think I need to do the folowing (quoted from INSTALL file) | 7. If you are using COFF-encapsulation, you must convert `gnulib' | to a GNU-format library at this point. See the file | `README-ENCAP' in the directory containing the GNU binary file | utilities, for directions. Herin lies the probelm. I don't seem to have any such file as README-ENCAP. I suspect it may be part of a sepearte distribution, but I'm not sure. What is interesting is that *without* doing this (I skipped) this step entirly, I have succeded in compiling gcc with itself & having it compile other code which apears to run correctly. Is th documentaion out of date her. I ran configure with the i386-sysv paramter, did this somehow magicly tak care of the coff issue for me? On a related subject what should I tell configure for gdb (I have version 4.4), The options seem to be totatly different here than for gcc. Thanks In Advance for your help. -- Stan Brown P.
