The following are instructions I am using for building the Hitachi H8300 cross compiler for the DJGPP environment. Due to difficulty compiling gcc Version 2.95.2 and the eventual goal of upgrading brickOS to gcc 3.2, I am using version 3.2 in these instructions. Please read through the entire message before proceeding. -- Ed Manlove

If you have problems related to these instruction, you can write to Ed Manlove

Step by step instructions:

1. Install DJGPP and GNU Source Code

2. Start a DOS/DJGPP session

2. (ALTERNATIVE) Create DOS Prompt Shortcut

Instead of starting a DOS prompt using the instructions above you can alternatively create a shortcut to open a DOS window and setup the DJGPP environment variables.

3. Configure and Build Binutils

4. Configure and Build GCC 3.2

Congratulations!

You can now start using your succefully built cross compiler and build brickOS under DJGPP/MS-DOS!
