Re: Installation of GCC

[Celia_Choo]

Hi Tim Prince,

I found this website for installing the emacs for windows 95 or NT.
http://www.cs.utah.edu/classes/cs1000/emacs.html but I'm using Windows
98.Pls advise me.

Where should I store my hello.c program?I'm confused about "You would
normally have your source and executables for work in progress for a small
project all in the same subdirectory until you see the need for something
fancier".

Example: To compile a file called hello.c, do
gcc -Wall -g hello.c -o hello -lm

Error msg : No such file or directory exists.

Hope to hear from you soon!

With Thanx,
Celia

You should use whichever editing environment you are comfortable with.
Any pure text editor intending for working on source code will do fine.
I continue to use PFE as well as vim.  If you know emacs, you probably
want that.

You would normally have your source and executables for work in progress
for a small project all in the same subdirectory until you see the need
for something fancier.

Your problem is that you are using Windows 98 which does not come with
either
the POSIX compatible shell capable of configuring GCC nor an initial C
compiler
required to build GCC.

Luckily, someone has already done most of the work for you.  Go to either
http://www.cygwin.com which supplies a Posix glue layer, the Bash shell and
binaries for many Unix-like tools including GCC 2.95.3 or to
http://www.mingw.org which just is a copy of GCC 2.95.3 and its required
binutils (assembler, linker, etc.) that runs under command.com/cmd.exe.

FWIW, GCC Version 3.1 will be released shortly and soon after its release
GCC
will be available for both systems mentioned.

Your second problem is running Windows 98.  You will soon discover that GCC
in
either its Cygwin or Mingw flavors severely taxes the DOS-based clever
hacks of
an operating system known as Windows 95, 98 and Me to the point of
unuseability.
The compilers work far better under Windows NT, 2000, or XP and I would
suggest
that you upgrade to one of them.

You must start with the instructions for installing cygwin or mingw32 which are 
linked to the gcc home pages, then read the instructions for building and 
installing gcc, and refer also to the configure parameters which have been 
shown successful on
gcc-testsuite.

I would suggest you visit http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html and
from
there you see that http://www.sunfreeware.com/ has a choice of arch and
OS.
