Re: [MiNT] gcc 2.8.1

You lucky man!

I have spent 4 evenings trying to install 2.8.1, and now even if I
reinstall the compiler part of KGMD, gcc gives me "Installation Problems:
cannot `exec ld`".

When people port gcc, I wish they would provide a tar.gz file INCLUDING
the bin utils, libs (if the names have changed), and a README in English
AND their native language if different. Then you counld un-tar it from
'/', having read the README.

It would be nice to see it going into '/usr/local'.

And, if anyone has any ideas how to get my 'ld' working again, please let
me know.

Thanks/.

Salut/.
