Depends on what you mean. You can just do "setenv TEMP d:/tmp" instead of
"setenv TEMP d:\tmp". Otherwise, Gulam really doesn't know much about
forward slashes. However, what Gulam knows/doesn't know about slashes should
have no bearing on what gcc knows/doesn't know. Moreover, the "usual"
version of gcc 1.37 can handle both kinds of slashes, even when mixed in
the same filename. Do you have the TEMP environment variable set up correctly?
My guess is that it's pointing to a non-existant directory.

You're trying to use gcc and MT-C shell at the same time. They're not
compatible. Someone posted some patches to the gcc programs recently that
purport to make them work under RTX (and hence under the MT-C shell); I
don't know whether or not they work.
