[www.billgatliff.com]. Although there is only a relatively small amount of information, it is the information that is needed and the example script is even more or less understandable to a dummy like myself. Build BINUTILS Build a minimum gcc without headers and libraries Build NEWLIB with the minimum gcc Build the full GCC Logical once it is explained in plain text and not camouflaged with jargon (why has it taken me a month to discover the 4 steps ?) The full GCC build didn't work - failing for the same reason as before - but I am sure that it is now something silly which I can, given adequate time, solve myself. I see that I now really do have "mcore-elf-gcc.exe" in the mcore/bin directory (I think that this must be the minimum gcc compiler) "crt0.o" libraries like "libc.a" are also in /mcore-elf directories. Since some things seem to be in /mcore and some others in /mcore-elf I probably did something not quite right when setting prefixes, resulting in the files not being found correctly - once I have gained a little more strength I will probably be able to swat the last self-made bug and will take time off to celebrate. Hope to give the mailing list a rest very soon (I think I said this several weeks ago, but perhaps it will really happen this time).=20 Cheers Mark
