Ok, lets try that again. I am about to write the Kernel for an operating system that I am writing and I would like to use the GCC on cygwin, but I need to output ELF files rather than PE. I have never tried to compile GCC before and I am having a problem getting it to build.
I have tried going step by step through the GCC Installation Manual but when building GCC full distribution I get this error: [i386.o] Error 1 [make-all] Error 2 and make quits. I have also tried simply: ./configure --target=i386-elf make and got the same error. What am I doing wrong? I have made many google seaches and I can't find any sources on making cross-compilers on Cygwin, if you know of any good resouces please could you let me know. I am running Cygwin Release 1.3.21-1 On Windows XP Profesional and I am trying to install gcc 3.2.2.
