Hi!
As my final year CS project, I am working on an intelligent mobile robot
using Lego Mindstorms. I had been using the TinyVM software to program
it, but now want to use something more powerful. However, I do not have
(and will not have) Linux on my machine. To get to the point:
I would really appreciate advice on how to build a cross-compiler
version of gcc which will run under DJGPP + produce H8300 programs
suitable for use with the Lego RCX, and preferably capable of compiling
legOS programs (and indeed, legOS itself). 
I have installed DJGPP under Win2000 and gcc seems to be working OK.
(Some programs do cause a GPF in NTVM; however I seem to recall
something in the FAQ warning about this. So far, only 'info flex' and
RHIDE have done this, neither of which I really need anyway).
So what do I need to do now? I have downloaded the gcc source
(gcc2952s.zip) but am unsure where to go from here.

Any help appreciated,

	Kieran

PS: If there is in fact some section or document entitled "How to build
cross-compilers" then please laugh at me (and tell me where it is)
