Hi,
I am completely new to gcc. I converted my Lenovo G580, i3 4-Core x86_64 laptop
from Windows 8 to Linux Mageia 5, now 6, the latest upgrade. I am busy with a
web developing course at Udemy, but cannot view their course video's.
Gnash requires a C++ compiler which led me here. I carefully read and followed
the GCC Manual. My Gcc-object directory was made next to gcc-7.2.0 from the
start. I used the software as it was downloaded. The listings are copied from
the terminal window, no editing. I did edit the Path for C++ and tried the same
for g++ and gnat, but in all cases the result, before and after, showed as under
*Gnash result.* I did this in .bash_profile.
Machine; Lenovo G580 i3 4-Core x86-64.
OS; Mageia 6. After Windows 8 stripped, Killdisk one pass on Hard disc.

I later got the same diagnostics in the gcc config.log file.

_*Questions;*_
I understand the situation around compile time errors.
1. Can I safely ignore the errors? It seems the Stop in the Make install
result is fatal.
2. Any ideas on what I may have left out or did wrong?
3. How do I address the g++ issue correctly? Tried Gnash again. Same thing.
Please let me know of any further information needed. I kept the listings as
short as possible.
Thank you,
Chris.
