Arg, surrounded by BSD'ists. :shock: :D Sorry, I didn't realize. I saw GCC 4.1.* become stable for my Linux distro so long ago I figured "everyone" would probably have migrated by now.

Downloading the packages right now to do a couple of test cycles.

Edit: texinfo is one of the base packages, i.e. as long as you do not disable it explicitly, it gets installed.

Edit 2: To the GCC-3-ists out there: What would be your binutils version of choice to go with it?

Edit 3: @ crasher - I see that, in your first post, your source directory is /usr/src/binutils-20060817-1 - that means you did probably use the (patched) Cygwin source package. That did result in breakages before; the tutorial works best with the vanilla GNU sources from ftp.gnu.org. (Which is why using them is encouraged in the tutorial.)

Edit 4: I really should engage my brain before posting. Re point 2, of course you mean the current Cygwin version of affairs... silly me. :?

I use 2.17 (or recently, 2.18 ). cross-GAS chokes on the freebasic runtime with earlier versions.

You can use binutils-2.18, it should work alright.. ;)

GCC 3x isn't as old as you think.. The latest "official" release was in 2006.

I can confirm that, using binutils-2.17 and gcc-3.4.4, all you need are the basic Cygwin packages, gcc, and make.

No flex, no bison. Texinfo is part of the basic installation.
