I have successfully built everything, including g++ and glib++. I'll be packaging it somehow (easiest way for me) and making it available via anonymous ftp for those on the internet. 1. To build gcc and friends, you want to get the three diskette set that recently originated at RoboBar thanks to Steve and Ron. This consists of three files (not diskettes) which build two diskettes suitable for custom. The third file is instructions. There is a copy on unix.oakland.edu (141.210.180.2) for anonymous ftp in the directory /pub/xenix/gcc. You get best results if compiling with the gcc binary included. The easiest way to start is to use -traditional option to gcc. In that case you probably don't have to modify your include files. 2. To build g++, you need to install the source for gcc updated for Xenix (patches and instructions included on those gcc diskettes). I had a bit of trouble with the include files, but finally got it all to go. 3. After installing g++, then you can make libg++. Again, minor problems with include files will haunt you. 4. I forgot to say..as a part of (2), you need the set of g++ patches which Ron and Steve posted to the net. This includes a script to modify the include files. I'll be posting this, along with the binaries, next week. Ron. -- | Ronald J.
