This isn't _exactly_ about DJGPP... =)
I availed myself of the huge source dist for GCC 2.7.2 (about 28Meg when
completely unzipped). I couldn't understand the instructions, so I just
did a make (edited the Makefile somewhat first...)
Surprisingly, this step produced a set of executables, but the instructions
say something about recompiling GCC with itself or something... a pretty
long step. It seems like this is just about checking the compiler. Can I
skip this step? after all, I already have a set of executables.
Is it safe to use my old header files, or does each new version of GCC
come with a new set of headers? after the make finishes its mess, I have
the executables in a path off the main source tree. Can I transfer these
directly to my DJGPP bin directory?
Thanks.
=)
