	Idiot begs help. Has read FAQ, although bound to have missed the pertainant information.

	I have just done a clean install with a view to building a cross compiler (Pascal ) ( DJGPP -> m68040 ) for an embedded system.

	In the abscence of pkunzip, I decided to use unzip386.exe which I am rather suspect of ( in the area of long filenames ).

	Anyway, everything works wonderfully under DOS, the examples compile etc.

	I then move on to generating the cross compiler. Reading several documents I finaly decide to run configure like this

	>cd /djggp/gnu/gcc-2721
	>configure go32 m68040

	This fails to work, configur.bat, try that. That fails. editing
/djgpp/gnu/gcc-2721/config/msdos/configur.bat and changing the reference in configur.bat removing the 'e' eventualy makes it work.

	After removing the '-g' from the resulting makefile I re-compile everything, and ... lo :)

	A dos->dos compiler  hmm...

	Can anyone help ? please <begs> ...

	Is it possible, or do I have to use a Canadian Cross under Linux to get it to work ?

	Is there a bug in the install method / FAQ / unzip386 ? or is it just me ?

	Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated.

	Regards,

		Michael Meeks.
