I think I've done this, installing everything in the referenced
directory, but I'm having trouble with header files. Including
iostream and string, for example, sometimes requires adding ".h" and
sometimes not, and varies depending on whether I'm using g++ or eg++.
I suspect I have some left-over header files and probably libraries on
the default search paths, but am not familiar enough with gcc and egcs
to know what I'm looking at.
If it's true the latest egcs will compile the kernel with no problems,
what I think I want is to remove both the gcc/g++ and egcs compilers,
libs and related files, then do a clean installation of egcs. (I
prefer egcs to g++ because I've got some legacy Fortran code lying
around that I can't junk yet.) If this seems a reasonable approach,
would someone please indulge me with a detailed list of what I need to
remove and what I need to install? I feel a bit silly asking, but
there are so many versions of these packages running around loose....
Thanks for any help.
