So, I prefer sending you this question in a first step. We are trying to install the new GCC version (2.95.2) on a Motorola-VME167 platform with a M68040 processor and an Unix-SystemV system (note: the result of 'uname -a' is 'xxx xxx R3V7 980709 M68040'). We encounter some difficulties in making directly a native compiler for this target machine. Our difficulties are connected with gcc/cc we use to build the new one. We have yet succesfully installed two old versions of GCC (the latest one is 2.7.2) on the Motorola machine. We've also installed without any problem the 2.95.5 GCC version on our SUN SPARCstations. So, 1) I would like to know if there is someone that have yet installed the 2.95.2 GCC version on such a m68040 computer, or if someone has some advices from its experiments on m68040 computers to solve our difficulties, 2) We are now trying to build a M68040 native compiler FROM a cross-compiler we will build on the SUN computers. Does anybody know if there exists an easy way to do such an operation ? (and if so, can you describe it to us ?...) Thanks in advance for your help, Christophe Aussagues. -- mailto:chris@albatros.saclay.cea.fr
