It should be soooo easy...
I installed GCC 2.11 on my 386-40 w/8meg..etc...

gcc -v gives gcc version 2.1

which gcc gives /usr/bin/gcc

but... when I try to make somthing... I get the following error.

# make
gcc -static -O2 -c -o vgalinux.o vgalinux.c
In file included from vgalinux.c:1:
vgalinux.h:14: parse error before `('
make: *** [vgalinux.o] Error 1

This is not an error in vgalinux.h...

I get the same error from the small program I called test.c

main()
{
}

# gcc -o test test.c
test.c:1: parse error before `('
#

The things that make you say Hmmmmmm..

I didn't see any QAR on this. I followed the installation notes to a "T"...

It should be so easy...
