Problems building b18 under win95


Hi,

I'm having quite a few problems rebuilding a "plain vanilla" version of gcc
for win32. I got the CDK and installed it on a "virgin" machine in exactly
the same directory as suggested by the installer except on my F: drive
rather than C:. I then created a batch file to set all the path settings
and other environment vars. I ran the batch file and did a "umount /" and a
"mount f: /" as suggested here a few days ago to make sure that the root,
/, directory was connected to the right drive. I then ran bash, create a
directory and a simple "Hello World!" app to prove that the compiler was
working and stepped through that with gdb to check that GDB and TCL were
also working. I then did a "cd /" and a "tar xvf //h/cdk-src.tar" to untar
the source for the compiler.

Problem number 1:

When the tar process was mostly finished it seems to set time stamps on
directories and produces the following error:(short version) :-)

tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk/bfd/hosts:
Permission
 denied
tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk/bfd/doc:
Permission d
enied
tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk/bfd: Permission
denie
d
tar: Could not change access and modification times of cdk: Permission
denied
,etc,etc,etc.

I thought that this wasn't too critical and I took it to be something to do
with the differences between the win32 API on 95 and NT.

I then created a /build/native directory and in it ran the "/cdk/configure
--prefix=/install -v > configure.log 2>&1" which seemed to work OK although
I didn't sift through its log file too closely. I then ran "make > make.log
2>&1" which bombed out after about 30mins with the following error.

<...snip snip...>

make: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-tcl] Error 2

I'm not sure what to do. Is this a problem with my setup or does it just
not build under 95 at all.

I'm using Win95 build 950a with British codepages on a P133 with 32MB RAM
on a 500MB partition with 150MB free after configure and 132MB free or
there abouts after make bombs.

Sorry for the long boring email <grin>.
