[comp.os.minix] Need help with MacMinix and gcc

vladimir@Eng.Sun.COM (Vladimir G. Ivanovic) (03/24/91)

I've gotten from plains.nodak.edu the gcc executables and libraries
(.../Minix/mincen/68k/gcc/bin and most of the stuff in /lib).  I've even
placed gcc in /usr/gnu/bin and the rest in /usr/gnu/lib.  All to no avail.

I get a message:

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec /usr/gnu/lib/gcc-cpp: No more processes

and then clam prompt.

I checked the sizes of these beasts (lib/gcc-*), and they are huge!  gcc-cc1
wants a total of 1.6MB!  Well, my poor Mac 128K -> 512K -> 512E + 1.5 MB (~
2MB MacPlus) can't deal with a process which wants 1.6MB of memory to run.  No
way, no how.

I tried putting them on a diet and I got through cpp, but cc1 (the hog) gave
the same error message.  Is there anything else I can do? (Short of buying
more memory :-)
