A cross-compiler maker doesn't need the Unix-tools with the b20 distribution and can have problems to find a system where unpack the InstallShield package. Ok, just someone show me how to unpack it under Linux... It's not only cygwin32, but also NetBSD and FreeBSD, which doesn't have the system headers and libs easily available for a cross-compiler maker. Linux has had its C-library distributions as easy-to-unpack '.tar.gz' or '.bz2' formats, but for some stupid reason the RH-version dependent RedHat-packages have became very common (How to unpack RH5.1-packages under RH4.2 ?) > And for Cygwin b20, see: > http://www.cygnus.com/ I was really annoued when the +12 M download was stopped by Win95 automatically disconnecting the phone line after 7.9 M because of 'non-activity' (it was left alone to do the over 1 hour job...). Ok, I could 'split' the stuff already got to 1280000 byte chunks, download the missing 'xag - xaj' parts and combine them under Linux. Shame on these 'closed systems' with proprietary package formats and trying to put the user to install the whole system (Cygwin32, FreeBSD, NetBSD) in order to get their libs & headers! So, please someone make a 'crxcygwin32.tar.gz' for Cross-GCC makers. Perhaps a Linux-to-cygwin32-egcs-1.1 could be put to some Linux or Win32 archive... FreeBSD-to-cygwin32 and NetBSD-to-cygwin32 too... BTW, I got the NetBSD libs & headers in a 7 M package with native compiler binaries, and got then a Linux-to-NetBSD cross-compiler easily, but perhaps I need to install FreeBSD first to get its libs & headers... Any clues where to find these? Thanks to DJ for keeping a cross-kit for DJGPP available!
