The process is general - only some of comments and the example command file
is target and compiler revision specific. User needs to change configuration
options in the command file that aren't Macro-ized to suit their target and
compiler revision.
Thanks very much for your comments - I see that I need to make the above much
clearer in the document - Will do!
I will also be certain to make that clear when I export them as web pages (no
download reguired that way).
Also, each of our released diff-tar-balls will have example command script
and directions customized and included.
Will have such a beast posted RSN - gcc-3.1.1-Ada on Intel-FreeBSD now
supports tasking in Ada programs. Need to be certain that the changes
survived the cvs check-in and commit. Meaning we need to check-out our own
cvs, build and confirm that the cvs version works the same as our local
version.
Thanks
Mike
