The changes required to get the GNU C compiler running on
Apollo 68K platforms are available via anonymous ftp from
labrea.stanford.edu in the form of a compressed tar file
named "/pub/gnu/apollo-gcc-1.37.tar.Z".
The size of the file is 84145 bytes.
To build GCC for the Apollo you'll need the virgin FSF
distributions of bison-1.03, gas-1.34, and gcc-1.37. They
are also on labrea.stanford.edu as well as prep.ai.mit.edu.
My changes are to enable gas to produce Apollo COFF object
files and allow gcc to parse some of the syntax extensions
which appear in Apollo C header files. Note that the
COFF encapsulation technique cannot be used on the Apollo.
The tar file should be unpacked in the directory containing
the gas-1.34 and gcc-1.37 directories; a few files will be overlaid,
and an APOLLO-GCC-README file will appear in the top directory.
This file contains detailed instructions on how to proceed.
These changes will only work for SR10.1 or later systems, using
the 6.6 or later version of the Apollo C compiler.
If you do not have ftp access, I can mail you the changes in the
form of diffs; they are approximately 40K in length. If you request
them, be sure to give me a voice phone number so I can contact you
in case I can't send you mail; I've had several requests in the
past from people I can't contact.
By the way, I'm working on getting the GNU C++ compiler running;
there are a couple problems to solve. I hope to be able to announce
the Apollo version shortly after the 1.37 version is released.
