There is a known problem with building the distribution under both Win 95 and NT -- I think for configuration reasons tcl, tk, and gdbtk cannot be rebuilt under NT and Win95, only cross-built under the Unix of your choice. (This part of b18 is more work-in-progress than the rest). If you configure the sources adding a "--disable-gdbtk", it will build the command-line version of gdb without the GUI and that should work better. If you only want to rebuild gcc, you might want to invoke make with "make all-gcc" and then "make install-gcc" to avoid build failures in tcl, tk, and/or gdb. Alternatively, configure with "--disable-gdbtk" and then build with "make -k" and install with "make -k install" which tells make to try to kontinue past any build problems... -- Geoffrey Noer noer AT cygnus DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
