hi,. I am running SlackWare 7.1 and I have tried several Xcompilers. Currentl, I have a working 2.7.2. The quirk is that if it is a clean syntax, It will compile and link. Ok, With some Trial and Error I can compile with it. That is as long as there are no warnings or errors. How hard wauld it be to cross compile some of the GCC sources that I have. Or even Mint? Josephus.
