Re: Compiling gcc-2.95.2 for use as m68k cross compiler

[Mark Palmerino <mbp at csr-bos dot com>]

Hi Noah and everyone,

I tried your suggestion and it looks like the make is spending a bit of time
compiling the newlib stuff. Then it looks like it started chunking through
the libio and libstdc++ stuff. And now it stops with the error listed at the
bottom of this email.


I'd like to ask, though, how did you know that was the problem?  I spent not
a small amount of time picking through the error messages and trying to
understand how the configure files are working etc., but, of course, saw no
hint that made me think I needed link in the libraries.

Let me ask a question here - how do these last three work - if I use
'--with-newlib' how does it know where to find newlib?

Any ideas as to what the problem below is?
