[trying to compile gcc from cvs]
What is the error?

There were initial errors trying to configure specific projects (getting the size of 'int' and such). Hardcoding those got me further, but there were further errors.


Anyway: I just retried, but only enabling the C and Objective-C languages, and what do you know? It worked! :-)

    ( options:  --disable-libmudflap --enable-languages=c,objc   )

I disabled mudflap because I remembered that causing problems earlier, might not be absolutely necessary.

- Is gcc-1765 really a good base?  What would be a good/better base?

- Where could I get that?
- Any other recommendations?

Apple's gcc is not really a good place for working on a new front-end for GCC really.
Also Apple's GCC depends on things being declared and really only supports the
C family front-ends as you found out.

Yep. Though apparently only doing C frontends also helps with the FSF GCC.



I would use the mainline FSF gcc. There are only a few features which are in
Apple's gcc which are not in the FSF's gcc. Most of them are C family based features
which should not matter to a new front-end.

Yes, I will do that. Thanks for the help!

Cheers,

Marcel
