I have gcc-1.37.1.tar.Z from wuarchive.wustl.edu and have imported it to
my MacMINIX file system.  I started trying to compile it but have had very
little like; I'm fairly unfamilliar with MINIX and have never worked much
with GNU packages.

There have been several succesfful installations of GCC under MINIX and I
was hoping to get some feedback on what people had to do in order to get it
to work.

Another thing I've been trying to get working is getting /dev/tty2 to work
with my modem (USRobotics HST).  It doesn't, and I haven't found much more
than a quick mention of getty, modem, ttys, and gettydef.  The last file is
mentioned but there is no example.

If someone can give me a few hints or tips, I'd greatly appreciate it.

UUCP is (yet) another thing I'm looking at getting set up.  I remember reading
a few months back that someone has UUCP, news and mail handling programs
running under MINIX.  If someone could let me know where to get more info I'd
greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks.
