Re: GCC 3.2.2 Cygwin to i386-elf cross compiler

["Steve Graham" <srg at dsl dot pipex dot com>]

Ok, lets try that again.

I am about to write the Kernel for an operating system that I am writing and
I would like to use the GCC on cygwin, but I need to output ELF files rather
than PE. I have never tried to compile GCC before and I am having a problem
getting it to build.

I have tried going step by step through the GCC Installation Manual but when
building GCC full distribution I get this error:

[i386.o] Error 1
[make-all] Error 2

and make quits.

I have also tried simply:
./configure --target=i386-elf
make

and got the same error.

What am I doing wrong?

I have made many google seaches and I can't find any sources on making
cross-compilers on Cygwin, if you know of any good resouces please could you
let me know.

I am running Cygwin Release 1.3.21-1 On Windows XP Profesional and I am
trying to install gcc 3.2.2.

Thank you for your time
Steven Graham
