Hi; I am working my way through the compiling process. I want to be precise about my question so that responders do not waste time on answering the wrong question. Where can I find/see which preprocessor, lexical analysiser, parser etc. the gcc compliler is using in Fedora? What order are they being used in and any other instructions or agruments that are being passed to them by gcc (the compiler) besides the original/modified code? I have gone through 'info gcc' but that does not seem to lead to the answer of my specific question. I have read as much as I could regarding 'make'. That didn't seem to have an answer either. Maybe I missed it! I know the answers, from reading patches and pieces (cpp, lex and Yacc -- I think). But seeing is believing. Somewhere (which I can't seem to find) there must be a declaration, or official text or manual that says for sure that I have a certain version of gcc that definetly calls on these specific programs. All the reading I have which explains adequately what each program does only has a generalized definition (eg. first a preprocessor is used, then some lexical analysiser, followed by a parser etc.). I also have manuals on cpp and lex and yacc. But the two, gcc and the component program are never connected. I want to look somewhere, preferably on my system that says your system uses such and such. It would be nice if there was a nice little script that said: make /myprogram | cpp | lex | yacc | ld | asm > myexcprogam. I know it doesn't exist, so how would I fill in the information myself? Where can/do I look? -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
