About the problems with GCC reporting file not found:

Last night I was succesfull in getting my gcc to compile hello.c.
I'm using Gulam and a version of GNUC that I think is identical to
the one on atari.archive.

My environment setup is as follows:

	GNUINC = /gnuc/gccincl/
        GNULIB = /gnuc/gcclib/
	GCCEXEC = /gnuc/gccexec/gcc-
	TEMP = /temp/

The folder 'gnuc' ordinary path is 'd:\gnuc\' and temp has
'd:\temp\'.
I think what has gone on is that GCC takes a path to be relative
to the root directory, not knowing the d: drive specification.
The result is that GCC can't find the preprocessor, even though
it reports $(TEMP)/cc100000.cpp as the one missing (a bug perhaps?)

I haven't done any much testing, so I don't know if there is an easy way
to distribute the files on several drives (e.g. by using /dev/C/). 
I know however that the slashes at the end of GNUIC, GNULIB and TEMP
can be dropped.
