To save someone elses sanity, I would be willing to post the binaries of GCC 1.30 to this group or unix-pc.sources. Is there interest in my doing so? It is about 800k before uuencoding. I didn't use an older version of gcc to bootstrap and went through the headache of using the supplied version of 'cc'. My binaries seem to be pretty stable. They passed the stage2 test for making GCC. If anyone has any questions on making GCC 1.30, I can try to help. Now I have a request I hope someone can help me with. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get G++ up and running on a 3B1? I heard that there are problems with the COFF formated object files and using G++. I would appreciate any hints, help, suggestions or diff files. I hope to get the newest version of G++ on my 3B1 soon.

Brant has alluded to the possibility of making them availabele, of more people helped out to make them available via INET and UUCP, that should solve these headaches once and for all. -- :alex.

I think that would be a great idea. Is it 800 K after compress or before? It would be a great thing if you can compress it down to 300/400 K and then "uuencode" or "btoa" it. In any case, you could send it to me in a format ready for download, and I could put it up for anonymous ftp. -- Mark Galassi rosalia@mozart.UUCP These opinions are mine and should be everybody else's :-)

Will the system work reasonably will on a UNIXpc this size? The reason I ask is because Mike says he has it on a 3B1 which I though meant 2 meg RAM, 67 meg HD. But, whatever that case, It world be great to have the binaries posted (with instructions, system size requirements, docs. etc.). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Wolfson att!ihuxy!wolfer
