I have been trying to install GNU g++ on the NeXT. GCC 1.36 installed fairly easily (after editing config/tm-next.h "${Z}" to "%{Z}", thanks to Frederick Korz). The problem I had concerns the fact that g++ builds and uses its own linker (ld.c). This file #includes a.out.h, which doesn't exist under MACH. Substituting the files that describe the MACH exectable format (type "man a.out" on a NeXT) doesn't work, at least without setting some switches that I couldn't figure out. Any suggestions? steve frank
