compiling libstdc++/libg++ 2.8.1.1 with egcs-1.1.1?

compiling libstdc++/libg++ 2.8.1.1 with egcs-1.1.1?

[Frederick V. Heitkamp]

The subject is the question:
Can I compile libstdc++/libg++ 2.8.1.1 with egcs-1.1.1?

I tried it on an m68k Linux system and it stopped with
errors.  IF it's supposed to be possible I can get
the exact error.

Did you use the bundled libstdc++?

It should work, of course.  So what is the error, and what is your system
setup?

Have you checked the FAQ at http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html ?
It has an entry regarding libg++.

Actually, I do have a program that needs them.  That's why I tried  to
compile them.

Saddly the application is Netscape, and for Linux there are many versions
that are linked with strange combinations of libraries.  Sometimes you 
have them all and sometimes you don't.

I was hopping both could live on my computer without fighting.  I was
planning on compiling gcc-2.8.1 with egcs at some point, but I am frying
other fish at the moment.
