GCC and Windows 98

[Stef]

I have installed the GNU toolkit onto my PC and am unable to compile even
the basic demo program.  The error message that is received is as follows:

################################

################################

################################

I am running MS Windows 98 and the version of the GCC.EXE is 2.7-97r1a.

I have tried runing the command "gcc hello.c" with just the default
settings, changing the FILES in the CONFIG.SYS file, tried different folder
locations (to prevent any DOS 8.3 problems) all returning the same STACK
FAULT error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Stef

Stef:

I'm running windows 98 and gcc for win32.

I'm not exactly sure what is going on here.

What I'd do is this:

make a hello program (like with Notepad) like this:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
printf ("hello!\n\nPress enter");
getchar ();
return 0;
}

after you write that, save it as hello.c
then get an MSDos prompt and go to the directory where you saved it, and
type:

gcc -luser32 -o hello.exe hello.c

This will link in the library for console applications and tell the compiler
to give the end product the name "hello.exe".

Then you'll be able to run the program from the command line or from
Explorer.

Make sure gcc has been added to your path.

Hope that helps. Feel free to email me at

I don't know, what this should be.
What's the void __main(){} line good for?
Why do you replace the exit reoutine (which
is called automatically at the end of any main routine)
with a never ending loop?

I don't know, what gcc you use. Try the one from
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32
mingw32 is the version, which produces native win32 apps.

Re: GCC and Windows 98

[Stef]

In response to your query about the void __main(){} prototype and the exit()
function, these were at the suggestion of the readme file that came with the
native Hitachi SH2 development board.

Tried again with a simple for loop and no optimisation.  Guess what, same
Stack Fault.

In essence I am trying to compile the code for subsequent serial download to
an SH2 processor.  Unfortunately it doesn't compile at all (even as a simple
win32 'exe).  I've had it working in the past on other PC's and my colleague
has it working happily (exact same version) on his PC.  And I'm baffled.  I
can only conclude that there is a SW/HW conflict at a much lower level (I
sincerely hope not, and at the moment don't really count it as a viable
answer...).

I have again tried it with the previous response (as an -luser32 exe) but
again the exact same stack fault.

At a loose end here!

Thanks in advance,

Stef

 You could try another SH-target toolset for Win32 host, e.g. via :
