Re: Installing egcs-1.1.2

[c958179 at student dot dtu dot dk]

I am not an exprienced unix user. Therefore I am getting confused.
Can't you be more specific? Then I will be very delightfull.
What should I do after I unpacked egcs-1.1.2 full distribution package in
a directory called egcs-1.1.2?
And I don't have any previosly installed cc compiler.
