- Subject: open watcom compiling gcc on win32
hey,
I was wondering if open-watcom could be used to compile gcc on win32... I was hoping to
do so under cygwin..
If so, what are the steps for doing so? If not, what's the preferred compiler for
building gcc on win32?
Thanks much,
Ed

ps - have the gcc folks looked at the watcom code? I know its not completely GPL
compatible, but I'm sure that some sort of agreement could be made with Sybase
to let gcc encorporate ideas from watcom...
well, its worth a try anyway. The personal thing I want to see is compatibilty with
VC++ 6.0 on win32 - which Watcom has and g++ of course lacks.
I know is discussed in the FAQ - however, I'm really scratching my head on how to
use cygwin to talk to stuff like oracle and certain oracle tools in a performance
acceptable way.
