A question : What one needs for making executables? (This should have been told in every C-language course...) A hint: Having the compiler, assembler and linker is not enough, something else is also needed... Ok, it is the C-library (libc.a) with the startup routine (crt0.o) and perhaps yet something else. No library and startup files -- no executables... > So- does anyone here have any clue as to what the problem is? Is it more > serious than it appears? Most importantly, is there a way to fix it? Just build newlib, install it, and continue with egcs to build 'libiberty.a' and 'libstdc++.a' (you must fix configure to get this)... Or be happy after getting the C-library and try GDB with its h8300-simulator next... The GNU libstdc++ can be too big for even the H8/300H and H8S variants, and the egcs build don't even try to build it... Cheers, Kai PS. Has somebody looked at the H8/300 changes in the egcs-snapshots? I checked the diffs between the current snapshots and the egcs-1.1.2 release, and found even a plain vanilla typo in the egcs-1.1.2 sources (a '&' instead of '&&') fixed... _______________________________________________ New CrossGCC FAQ: http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC _______________________________________________ To remove yourself from the crossgcc list, send mail to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'unsubscribe' (without the quotes) in the body of the message.
