These archives contains the following pre-built binaries: 
gcc-2.7.2.3
g77-0.5.21

built on and for the i386-next-nextstep4 platform. 


NOTES

Regarding the versioning of this package:
I tacked on my port attempt numbers to the end of the gcc versions,
ie, This represents my third (.3) attempt at porting gcc v2.7.2.3
to OpenStep.  This is also my first (.1) attempt at a nextstep3
gcc v2.7.2.3 cross compiler.  I hope this doesn't confuse people.
(-;

These packages have been built for and tested on OpenStep for Mach
4.2, but may also work on others version of OpenStep for Mach 4.x.
This build does NOT work on NEXTSTEP 3.x and earlier.  I used (for
the most part) patches to gcc provided from
ftp://nice.ethz.ch/users/chris/OS4/ to get the newest gcc working
form OpenStep for Mach 4.x.  Patches were available for i386 only,
hence no m68k(-next-nextstep4) support... yet.


INSTALLATION

The tar.gz archive contains the installer package gcc.pkg.
Use /NextAdmin/Installer.app to install to /usr/local and you're done.  

NOTE: you STILL need the nexstep developer packages (tested for
OpenStep for Mach 4.2 only... earlier/other versions may or may
not work) installed in order to use this, as it uses NeXT's supplied
C libraries and header files.
