Re: Anyone installed Drone and Expect on Win95?

[donalson]

I wish I knew the exact syntax but basically you have to  specify gcc on the
command line.  Two examples from my unix install are:

./configure --disable-shared
--with-tclobjcdir=/home/donalson/swarm13/packages/tclobjc-1.4

I am sure that there is one for gcc as well/

If you have access to a Unix system maybe you can do a "man" on "configure".
It is unfortunate that Cygwin doesn't implement "man".

Good Luck,
