Installing egcs-1.1.2

[c958179@student.dtu.dk]

I did the following(which are from installationsinstruction) for
installing egcs-1.1.2 to my SGI IRIX 6.5 computer:
#mkdir objdir
#cd objdir
#srcdir/configure [target] [options]

with the respons:

#No match

I have some questions her.
Why am I making a directory witk name objdir?
In which directory should objdir be placed?
Where is srcdir comming from?

Then I tried to configure without making any directory, like this:

#./configure

And I got the following:

"Configuring for a mips-sgi-irix6.5 host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/home/robcad/Sabit/egcs-1.1.2 using "mh-frag"

cc ERROR: cannot exec /usr/lib32/cmplr/fec
***The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed
***You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler  "

How can I set the environment variable CC to a working compiler?


I am using egcs-1.1.2 because it is recommanded for the C++ program I am
gonna work with.

Do you think I can use GCC 2.95 for the same purpose?


Thanks in advance.

Regards from Sabit
