Help with egcs under cygwin.dll

[Mike Davies <miked at noco dot demon dot co dot uk>]

Hi,

I posted this before but nobody replied, I'll try again :-)

Basically if anybody out there knows how to get egcs 1.0 to install and
compile under the cygwin.dll with gnu 2.8 I'd be grateful.

My eventual aim is to re-target for the 8051 series of (8-bit) cpus.
If anybody else is involved in this or a similar port already then a
complete gnu newbie (me !) would be glad of any advice.

Thanks a lot and have a good New Year,

Mike



Initial problem follows :

I am trying to get the 1st release of egcs to compile under the cygwin
unix library under NT and I have run into a problem.

I run a shell by entering "bash" (or "sh" - it makes no difference to
the reported error) then I type "./configure", the output from this is
as follows :


/configure: args: command not found
./configure: that: command not found
./configure: line 138: syntax error near unexpected token `--ma*)'
./configure: line 138: `am-p* | --program-s* | --program-t* | --si* | --
sr* | --
ta* | --tm* | --x-* | --bi* | --sb* | --li* | --da* | --sy* | --sh* | --
lo* | --
in* | --ol* | --ma*)'

I haven't seen any references to anything resembling this in the recent
mail archives, and I was wondering if anybody can guess what is wrong ?


Also there used to be a text version of the mail archives, does anybody
know where they are, all I can find at www.cygnus.com/egcs are the .html
links which I cannot download so as to browse them offline.


Thanks,

Mike
