[comp.unix.xenix.sco] WANTED: GNU Software

annala@neuro.usc.edu (A J Annala) (10/20/90)

I am a biologist and not a computer scientist.  I have an SCO sysv/386 3.2
os running on a 30MHz 80386/80387 box with an ESDI Maxtor 676 MB disk plus
an Archive Viper 150 MB cartridge tape drive.  I would like to install the
gnu emacs, gcc, and x window software packages.  Any help in the form of
installation instructions, shell scripts, patches, and/or pointers to ftp
sites containing such materials would be much appreciated.  GNU emacs and
gcc seem to be unable to install using the default sysv-3/386/xenix scripts.

Perhaps someone would be so kind as to provide this information directly to
me via email and/or to the list at large by posting.

Thanks, AJ

You can ftp the gas and gcc compilers from unix.secs.oakland.edu
(141.210.180.2) under the subdirectory /pub/xenix.  Binaries are included.
C-Kermit is also available, in binary form too.

I am waiting for a new set of diskettes for gas, gdb, and gcc from England.
I'm told this is a much better port than the one originally available.  I
will put it up and put a note on the net as soon as it arrives.  Ron.
