I'm currently in the process of downloading gcc etc. for the hurd, so I was in the same boat. (That & having to recompile gnumach to be able to boot the hurd at all! :-) Its not as hard as it seems, but I don't remember the exact steps. Here is what I remember: * go to ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/ghhk/ and pick up the dev tarballs, make-cross, and i386-gnu-specs (or something like that). * run ./make-cross i386-gnu * try building something with CC=i386-gnu-gcc You will probably have problems finding stdlib.h et al. This is where the tarballs come in - extract the include files to /usr/i386-gnu/include. I seem to have symlinked a few files from /usr/i386-gnu/lib/ to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-gnu/2.95.2/; the *crt* files, libc.a, and a few other libraries by the look of it. Hmmm, not the best instructions I've ever given. You may also need to extract some include files from mach-dev to /usr/include to compile MiG for linux IIRC. (mach/ I think it was...) If you want more info, say so and I'll try to figure out exactly what I did. Good luck! HTH mibus -- Robert Mibus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A bug in the hand is better than one as yet undetected.
