Problems Building gcc-2.95

Problems Building gcc-2.95

[Aaron Gerber]

To whom it may concern

I have a macintosh with a ppc750 processor and I am running MacOS X PR3.

I have downloaded gcc-2.95 uncompressed it, and when I try to build it,
when I am running the "configure" program it tells me:

../configure: read-only variable: PWD [152]
Config.guess failed to determine the host type.  You need to specify
one.
Usage: configure [OPTIONS] [HOST]

===============================

I assume that when this version was created MacOSX was not around yet.

I would like to know if it is possible to have this compiler on my
machine, and what I would need to be doing differently, if it is.

Thanks!!!

	Apple is working on a patch to allow MacOS X to host GCC in the
short term and to merge Apple's MacOS X support into the mainline FSF GCC
development in the longer term.
