I got the CDK and installed it on a "virgin" machine in exactly the same directory as suggested by the installer except on my F: drive rather than C:. I then created a batch file to set all the path settings and other environment vars. I ran the batch file and did a "umount /" and a "mount f: /" as suggested here a few days ago to make sure that the root, /, directory was connected to the right drive. I then ran bash, create a directory and a simple "Hello World!" app to prove that the compiler was working and stepped through that with gdb to check that GDB and TCL were also working. I then did a "cd /" and a "tar xvf //h/cdk-src.tar" to untar the source for the compiler. Problem number 1: When the tar process was mostly finished it seems to set time stamps on directories and produces the following error:(short version) :-) tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk/bfd/hosts: Permission denied tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk/bfd/doc: Permission d enied tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk/bfd: Permission denie d tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk: Permission denied ,etc,etc,etc. I thought that this wasn't too critical and I took it to be something to do with the differences between the win32 API on 95 and NT. I then created a /build/native directory and in it ran the "/cdk/configure --prefix=/install -v > configure.log 2>&1" which seemed to work OK although I didn't sift through its log file too closely. I then ran "make > make.log 2>&1" which bombed out after about 30mins with the following error. <...snip snip...> gcc -O2 -c -DDLLTOOL_I386 -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I/cdk/binutils -I../bfd -I/cdk/binutils/../bfd -I/cdk/binutils/../include -O2 /cdk/binutils/dlltool ..c /build/native/byacc/byacc -d /cdk/binutils/defparse.y mv -f y.tab.c defparse.c mv -f y.tab.h defparse.h gcc -O2 -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I/cdk/binutils -I../bfd -I/cdk/binutils/../bfd -I/cdk/binutils/../include -O2 defparse.c /build/native/flex/flex /cdk/binutils/deflex.l mv lex.yy.c deflex.c gcc -O2 -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -I. -I/cdk/binutils -I../bfd -I/cdk/binutils/../bfd -I/cdk/binutils/../include -O2 deflex.c gcc -O2 -O2 -o dlltool dlltool.o defparse.o deflex.o bucomm.o version.o filemode.o -L../bfd -lbfd ../libiberty/libiberty.a make: DLLTOOL@: Command not found make: *** [libtcl7.6.a] Error 127 make: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [all-tcl] Error 2 I'm not sure what to do. Is this a problem with my setup or does it just not build under 95 at all. I'm using Win95 build 950a with British codepages on a P133 with 32MB RAM on a 500MB partition with 150MB free after configure and 132MB free or there abouts after make bombs.
