There are no longer 68000 mint versions available. If they changed their mind I never saw it. I have heard that lots of people had it working. I never got it work basicly I started with 1.41 and moved to 2.22 as the last one. 1.41 will give back gcc -v . 2.22 will not. I think there is something I need to put into the environment for gcc to find things or even to know where its parts are. I have put them in my path but it still does not work. by the way, I tried to install 2.95 under Linux but GCC was not installed. It just doesn't appear in the system. TAR -TVF will show it but it does not I generated a 68kcross compiler but it targets Motorola not mit. probably my fault. The weird part is that I have to have a 68k lib before I can compile libs. I then discovered that the LD is not compatible even with the mint libs. sigh. I would fix it if I could guess what was wrong. But I cant compile without a library. Just for the record though Bison is broken 2.0a will not generate a valid parsers for a non error LR grammar. It does not work. Flex works like a champ and generates a scanner. Flex and the grammar are sane. Bison is not. this was a Linux gripe. josephus -- Everybody is Ignorant, just on different subjects. --- Will Rogers Jr. It's not what you dont know, it what you know that aint so. ---Josh Billings
