Subject:	EGCS for DJGPP?
Message-ID:	<19980803.224756.6494.1.matthew.krause@juno.com>

I recently downloaded EGCS, the Experimental GNU Compiler System. The DL
was just sources, and I'm not sure how to build it (I'm kinda new to this
type of thing). The directions didn't help too much.

The docs say:

       
   To configure egcs:
   
     
     % mkdir objdir
     % cd objdir
     % srcdir/configure [target] [options]
     
   target specification
     * egcs has code to correctly determine the correct value for target
       for nearly all native systems. Therefore, we highly recommend you
       not provide a configure target when configuring a native compiler.

The DL, however, didn't include  configure.exe, just a batch file which
called one. So, I guess my questions are 1. Is there a DJGPP configure,
and where can I get it? 2. Has anyone tried to build EGCS? 3. Am I
missing something important (like no MSDOS support for EGCS)? **Please
tell me if so**

Kindly note: I know this is slightly offtopic, but the people who read
c.o.m.d, I've noticed, are some of the brightest on the net.

Thanks in Advance
