Imo, the best way to install gcc on Win98 is to go to
http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml and click on the link to
MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe.
When you've downloaded that exe file, run it and that will install the
MinGW suite of apps (including gcc) for you. Then it's just a matter of
adding the location of your MinGW/bin folder to your path ... and the
job's done. Run 'gcc -v' to check that all's well.
Of course that will give you gcc 3.2.3. Did you really need 2.95.3 ?
Cheers,
Rob
