Yes, don't spend hours on it completely ignoring your wife. It's not
health. :)
The primary problem I ran up against was when it built the libraries. It
would always fail. Since the libraries are not needed for the RCX, I had to
do some of the steps manually. Also, the "ln" program does not work on a
DOS/DJGPP system. I replaced "ln" and "ln -s" with "cp". The configure
program was supposed to figure this out on its own, but there is a bug in
the binutil configure so it didn't automatically switch to "cp".
Another problem was with the main makefile when using the -install switch.
It would halt with an error even when the '-k switch was used. I needed to
go into each subdirectory and run 'make -install' to get each tool
installed. I think I've figured out the fix for this. The environment
variable "SHELL=d:/djgpp/bin/sh.exe" must be set. I haven't tested this
yet, but I plan to do so today or tomorrow.
Here are the switches I used to build the DJGPP tools. You can use the same
switches for both the binutils and the compilers. This is entered as a
single line:
sh
configure --prefix=/djgpp/cross --program-prefix=h8300-hms- --exec-prefix=h8
300-hms
--host=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp --target=h8300-hms --enable-languages=c,c++
You will, of course, need to change the --host switch to the correct one for
a Mingw host.

I discovered the Mingw stuff after I had spent nearly two months getting the
DJGPP stuff to build. Being the stubborn bastard that I am, I can't bring
myself to abandon all the work I have already done. What should I download
and where do I find it? I'll take a look at the package and see what it
entails to do a port.

This, I understand. :)

It seems a little harder to port compared to cygnwin, but (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
