[TUHS] Having dickens of a time compiling gcc-4.4.7 on tru64 .

[babydr DBA James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello Anyone interested in this silliness ,  I am just recently trying 
to reacquaint myself with this os .  Which I had a decent passing knowledge of 
at one time .  Not any real OS level or driver coding ,  But was least decently 
acquainted .  Now on with the preliminaries ...

Any good software items to update on this ol'thing that give me a better chance 
of completing this task ,  Greatly welcome .

I have folowed ,  ths article which is a copy from (imo) several places ,  tho 
all of them are using a axp-Emulator .

I am using (I'll admit) a REAL AlphaStation 200 (4/100) with 384MB main memory & 
three disks all are U160's 2x4G+1x72G ,  OS is installed on the 72G(now) & has a 
/home dir for users rather that the default location .  See info & error during 
make of gcc .  Those numbers for the allocation & total have been exactly the 
same accross many iterations of attempts in that exact file .

# sizer -v
HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650); Sun Feb 23 19:43:32 AKST 2025

It is at patch level 008 .

and had successfully compiled & installed all the prerequisites shown in the 
article mentioned above .

It Seems the OS doesn't know how to access the swap properly .
