I have the full complement of GNU tools installed on my Solaris box and also have the search path ordered so they are found first. texinfo-3.12 compiled and installed without any complaints. It took me the better part of a day to get everything built, but I'd really recommend that you do this too. Unfortunately, the prebuilt binary packages at http://www.sunfreeware.com seem to be a tad stale, or you could load them from there. ISTR some RPM initiative for Solaris? Meanwhile, I'm going to take a crack at getting egcs-1.1b cross-compiling from x86 FreeBSD. The recent RTEMS-4.0.0 release uses EGCS and there may be some wisdom embedded in their patches and scripts. We'll see ;-) Good Luck, Jerry Hicks Jerry.Hicks@glenayre.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
