Hi Ellis,

It seems you have not installed cygwin completely. When you run the cygwin setup program it pops up a small dialog box which will show GROUPS of utilities. You need to expand the groups and make sure the utilities you are looking for are checked. The default settings only install some utils. I generally expand each group and check everything so that i can have the complete set of utilities.

Hi,

  "sed" stands for "stream editor". It is mainly used for filtering the
text.
GCC uses AWK and sed when installing. It is by default installed with Linux.
I don't know whether they are part of Cygwin environment. Don't hesitate to
install these packages in your environment. You would get them for free.

Before installing sed, please check if it is already available to you.
It may just not be included in your path. In my system, it is in /bin
directory.

Regards
Rakesh Kumar

Hello gcc helpers,

I have installed cygwin on my laptop computer, which runs Windows 98.

I have downloaded all of the necessary files to install gcc, and put them 
in a folder C:/gcc-3.2.2

I have made another folder called C:/gcc-objdir

And then I went to that directory and typed C:/gcc-3.2.2/configure

And the following error message appeared:

sed: not found

I have no idea what that means and therefore do not know how to 
successfully configure and ultimately install gcc.  Any help you can offer 
would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

Josie Ellis

Hello, I am trying to install the gcc compiler on three old macs using
os10.1.15. The computers are not connected to the internet so I need to know
how to put them on a disk and what to do to install it on the computers.
Thank you very much.

You will save yourself a lot of time and effort to use Cygwin's
setup.exe program to install the Cygwin GCC package.  It is a
pre-built binary and thus will circumvent your problems.

Cheers, Ben

Pascal support hasn't been integrated into the main GCC sources yet.
The two biggest (open source) Pascal compilers I know of are GNU Pascal
and Free Pascal:

    http://www.gnu-pascal.de/
    http://www.freepascal.org/

They are fairly compared here:

Several projects (GCC, binutils, GDB) all build this library.

If you're running a recent distro like RH 7, there are probably prebuilt RPMs
out there for either of the two projects above.  Building GNU Pascal requires
a rebuild of GCC from source, but you shouldn't need to do that yourself.

Last I heard, GNU Pascal requires an old (2.x) version of GCC to use.
The 2.x series is unsupported; all work has been going into 3.x for some
time now.  That may be reason enough to not use GNU Pascal unless they
give prebuilt binaries.


Luck++;

I have ;-), but I never use it to install on my sparc-sun-solaris2.[68]
boxes, as I don't install into /usr.

If you use releases and snapshots, yacc/bison should not be required
at all; if you use CVS, you need that, but I have no problem with bison
at all.

bison 1.28 works just fine, as does BSD yacc (unless you want to
build java, as far as I have been told), but Sun yacc probably is
not sufficiently standards compliant?

help installing gcc

[Mihai Moise]

I want to develop gcc, but at my university, we have only Solaris and I do not have root permission.

The only way to get gcc to compile is either to tell bison not to look for bison.simple in /usr/local/share or to get it to compile under yacc.

Getting it to compile under yacc requires three modifications. The first is to remove the %expect keyword (we'll get a warning, but that's ok.) The second is to replace YYLEX with it's definition in another file. I think I can pull it off.

The third is to define YYEMPTY, and I have no idea how to do that.

Can anyone help me?
