Re: Problems building TCL for insight on cygwin & win2k


Keith,

Thanks for your input I am trying the configure again without the host=
line. The reason for the with-headers is that I am using newlib and the
compiler is to be used on an embedded ARM micro, the configure actually
configs the whole toolchain, binutils, gcc and insight.

uname -a gives
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 DUAL-BEAST 1.3.3(0.46/3/2) 2001-09-12 23:54 i686 unknown

Will let you know what happens with the new build when it finishes.
