Today, I manage to install patch so I go on a little with the

installation

but the step 2 (configuration) is not ok :

2. Configuring and building GNU CC GNU Pascal is automatically configured with GNU CC. Configuration of GNU CC is treated in depth in *Note the GCC installation instructions: (gcc)Installation. Chdir to the GCC object directory. (This can be a directory of your choice, including the GCC source directory.) From there, run the `configure' script in the GCC source directory. If both directories are the same, the command % ./configure is sufficient to configure GCC in most cases

When I do this, the following message appears : " creating cache./config.cache checking host system type ... configure : error : can not guess host type

;

you must specify one"

Let's back up for a moment:

1. Do you have a working C compiler? try cc -v and you should get version info. The version is not important, the response is, as cc is used for the first of the three passes to build GPC.

2. Did you install a package of "include" files? These are a bunch of files ending in .h and found in a directory or sub directory called include. In the Slackware distribution the package is called linuxinc.tgz and they consider it important enough to provide two copies - one in the D series and the other in the K series. In a simplistic sense these files tell the C compiler how to use the library.

Now try make, again
