After you built the gcc suite, did you compile anything with the new compiler. I ask this because I have found over many attempts that I can have what looks like an OK build, but the compilers do not work. By that I mean you can not compile even a simple "Hello World" program on g++ or g77. When I look closer, I see that libraries are missing and that it is obvious the build did not really succeed. I would just assume its me, but I have been able to correspond with one of the "successful" build people, who, upon working with me, discovered that his build did not work either. Please note that it is possible, if you are as "talented" as I am at fouling things up to have a mixed environment between the standard Cygwin gcc and the new, and think that you have had a successful install when you have not. Assuming that you have compiled "Hello world" and / or your standard test set, let me ask this. What is your Cygwin configuration. Did you use Unix or DOS option? Did you install anything additional?. What environment variables (such as LIBRARY_PATH etc.) did you set, and where did you set them. Oh, almost forgot, did you do a full install of all Cygwin elements, and did you do a source install? Did you modify any files in the source? Heck, did you use gunzip, bunzip2 or winzip? Did you install anything or do anything after "make install". These are pieces of information that are every bit as neccessary as simply including the contents of gcc -v for someone like me to be able to duplicate your results. I have tried probably 30 - 40 times to get this to work with the 3 series, on 98, NT, 2000 and XP. It has never worked. A number of people have kindly given me their recipes (at least as far as what .configure options they used, do make bootstrap etc.). Not one of these recipes has worked. I have during this process torn out Cywin by the roots and reinstalled many times. I have put everything I could think of into environment variables. Despite my self-depricating sense of humor, I am not stupid. So there is something up. Either I am missing some trick that "everyone knows" or there is more here than meets the eye. I am cross posting this to both gcc help and gcc, as several requests for more specific information in the last few days to the gcc-help have been ignored. Rest assured, if I find out something stupid I am doing, I will post it in glorious, humorous, lets all laugh at Wayne fashion. Just show me, and the rest of us how building 3.0.X can work and does work! Wayne Keen
