Message-ID: <C7G9I4.63A.2@cs.cmu.edu> Sender: news@cs.cmu.edu (Usenet News System) Nntp-Posting-Host: proof.ergo.cs.cmu.edu Organization: School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon Date: Sat, 22 May 1993 22:37:15 GMT Lines: 26 I am looking for pointers on upgrading to gcc 2.4.0. The following fails while compiling enquire.c: % configure --target=i386-bsd % gmake LANGUAGES=c (gmake is a recent version of the GNU make program). My various attempts to fix things have not succeeded: enquire compiles with the system cc, but then fails due to a loss of precision error. debugging this causes the system to crash. xgcc (2.4.0) either reports a floating overflow or internal error, depending on whether I have rearranged the source to enquire.c. Maybe gcc 2.3.3 is a better choice for me. Apparently there are patches for it on 386bsd. Hopefully, someone in the know willtell me. Thanks Ken Cline
