cross-gcc build for a linux host for the msdosdjgpp target problem

[2boxers]

Kai,
Thank you for the reply.  Unfortunately, I am still having issues, although
I think I may be getting closer.  Hopefully this is something you can help
me with.

After I made the links from the build dir I was able to build libstdc++-v3
without those ctype_base.h errors.  When I tried to compile using
i686-pc-msdosdjgpp-g++ I could not because the linker was looking for
libstdcxx.a and all that was there was libstdc++.a.  So I made a link from
libstdc++.a to libstdcxx.a to satisfy the linker.  I am not sure I should
have had to do this...  Why is the linker looking for cxx and not c++ ?

Then when I tried to compile using the cross compiler,
i686-pc-msdosdjgpp-g++, the same errors popped up regarding the ctype_base.h
that were coming up before during making libstdc++-v3.

../include/c++/3.2/bits/ctype_base.h:46: _U' was not declared in this scope
snipped... lots of similar 'undeclared' errors re ctype_base.h

I then realized that even though the links were correctly made, the contents
of the directory include/c++/3.2/bits for some reason had the files from the
srcdir's libstdc++-v3/config/os/newlib instead of
libstdc++-v3/config/os/djgpp.  So I moved the newlib dir to a backup
location and then made a copy of config/os/djgpp to config/os/newlib so that
way the build would be forced to see the djgpp headers.

libstdc++-v3 built and installed with no errors. I was able to then compile
a binary using i686-pc-msdosdjgpp-g++ without error, but when I try to
execute the binary under win98 or win2kpro, i get this:

Here is the C++ program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world !!!" << endl;
return 0;
}

Note: the binary file size for this simple cpp program is 1,847,862 bytes.
Aside from not even executing properly, does this file size seem right?

When I compile a standard C equivalent program using i686-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc,
I get an exe size of 137,204 bytes and the file executes properly.

Any ideas what is happening here?

Charles
