I was able to get GCC to work on my system (strangely it would
not work in MT C-Shell, but it works fine from the desktop).
But anyway, what I was wondering, I was compiling some files
that used fcvt (floating point to string), getch (wait for
a character), and getchar (get a char), but when went to link
the files these functions were undefined. I am pretty sure that
GCC on the SUNS has fcvt and getchar (I am not sure about getch),
but does the ST version too? If so, how do I link them in?
Another thing...
When I am linking, does GCC look through all the files in my
lib path or does it only look in a default file? For instance,
if I want to compile a GEM program will I have to specify
'-lgemlib' ?

Use sprintf instead to be portable. getch is a part of curses -- get a curses library. Or use Bconin. (i believe). getchar should be in the standard library, Perhaps it is only a macro -- did you include <stdio.h>? >Another thing... >When I am linking, does GCC look through all the files in my >lib path or does it only look in a default file?

At any rate, I wrote my own version of fcvt() using sprintf, seems to work fine. As for getch/getchar, there was only one reference to them so I took them out...everything seems to be working fine not (I'll keep my fingers crossed). Thanks for the info... Another thing about libraries...if my library has something in it that calls something else in the archive, to get it defined properly at link time I have to specify my library twice ('-llibrary -llibrary') or else it says the second function is undefined...is this suppose to work this way? Oh, and finally, if I write a GEM program, do I link with crt0.o and gcrt0.o or just gcrt0.o? > >Klamer >-- >Klamer Schutte >Faculty of electrical engineering -- University of Twente, The Netherlands >klamer@mi.eltn.utwente.nl {backbone}!mcsun!mi.eltn.utwente.nl!klamer Richard Hall University of Michigan -- Standard disclaimer: I am not me, I am who you think you are... so don't blame me.
