From: Russel Future Injection-Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:42:07 +0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Bytes: 2101 Lines: 13 To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com I have DJGPP with gcc 4.72 working on a Linux box (Fedora), and I'm using DOSemu. I want to build the libc.a library from source. I found a post from someone who tried this a few years back, and I looked at the CVS site, but am usure of the process. I was able to download and install the tar.gz file of the CVS source, but when I connected to the "src" directory, and tried to run a "make", I got errors indicating "egrep" and "sed" were not found. I can compile a large project successfully with DJGPP running under DOSemu, on my Fedora Linux environment, but I cannot find any information on building the "libc.a" library from source. I have a very nasty bug related to use of floating-double that looks like it can be corrected by patching some of the ansi functions in stdio, but first I need to be able to successfully compile libc.a. Is there any current documentation suggesting how this might be done? Thanx.
