I was under the impression that the file binutils-2_9_1-tar are the sources.
Ok, this is what I am trying to do.I obtained these files :
binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz                                            sources
binutils-2.9.1-m68hc1x-19991128.diffs.gz     patch
gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz                                                sources
gcc-2.95.2-m68hc1x-19991129.diffs.gz         patch
newlib-1.8.1.tar.gz                                             sources
newlib-1.8.1-m68hc1x-19991128.diffs.gz      patch
Then I installed djpp 2.02 through zip picker and install.exe utility.
Where and how do I install all these files ? The instructions with the files
:
gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-2.95.2-m68hc1x-19991129.diffs.gz
say "Befor compiling GCC, you need to compile and install the GNU Binutils
for Motorola 68hc11 or 68hc12. Refer to GNU Binutils for 68hc11& 68hc12
which is a link to page where I obtained :
binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz
binutils-2.9.1-m68hc1x-19991128.diffs.gz
The instructions for the newlib files say pretty much the same thing except
that GCC and Binutils need to be installed first. It looked like binutils
had to be installed first. The instructions for the binutils say :

Installing the patch
gzip -d binutils-2.9.1-m68hc1x-19991128.diffs.gz
tar xvzf binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz
mv binutils-2.9.1 binutils-2.9.1-m68hc1x
patch -p1 < ../binutils-2.9.1-m68hc1x-19991128.diffs

My first attempt to install, I unzipped files with winzip to the default dir
which
turned out to be \binutils-2.9.1 directory.So they were unzipped in
d:\djgpp\binutils-2.9.1. Then I changed the name of the binutils-2.9.1 to
binutils-2.9.1-m68hc1x.
Then I tried to apply the patch. After several attempts and failures I
thought I
was successful at getting the patch installed.Then the instructions say :
 sh ./configure --target=m6811-elf -program-prefix=m6811-elf-
So thats what I did. The error I got was something like configure: bin/sh:
[noent] and then something about a host. So I gave the commands     sh
./configure --host=i586 --target=m6811-elf --program=prefix=m6811-elf-
Then it looked good for a socond or so until I got message back that said
****can not find config.sub . I had a copy of bash.exe in djgpp\bin so I
copied it to the binutils-2.9.1-m68hc1x directory as sh.exe because I
remembered reading something about this. I am not sure if this was correct.
Could someone please help me with this ? It would be
greatly appreciated.
