RE: want an sdcc howto?

I am not using the Ubuntu package of SDCC and GPUtils. I just tried to
do it again and follow exactly the document in the following link (CVS
version of SDCC and GPUTILS.
http://ubicomp.lancs.ac.uk/~martyn/sdcc_linux

The installation is okay. Actually I tried Cygwin as well. The compilation
of all the example C file failed. The following is
the error message of the compiling. It seems to me a configutation
problem. The error messaga in Cygwin is similar.

System: Ubuntu 5.04 Linux
SDCC: latest CVS
GPUtils: latest CVS

Xiaofan

The Ubuntu package may well be different from the Debian one.  Where 
did you report your problems with the Ubuntu compiler ?
