I see that bochs is already there with Ubuntu but since I need to enable debugging options I need to compile it from its source. I am trying to compile gcc-3.3.3 in order to compile bochs using that.
I am again working on Fedora Core 10 since I was not getting compiled any version of gcc on Ubuntu.
On Fedora Core 10, I have got gcc-4.3.2 which I am using to compile gcc-3.3.3 but I am getting compilation error listed below:
-------------
gcc -c -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -I. -I. -I. -I./. -I./config -I./../include ./read-rtl.c -o read-rtl.o
In file included from ./read-rtl.c:25:

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/arvind/OperatingSystemEngineering/toolchain/gcc-3.3.3/gcc'
gmake: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

What could be wrong and what should I do to build gcc-3.3.3?
Thanks a lot

Arvind,
Get the source from Ubuntu mirrors.
apt-get source bochs
apt-get build-dep bochs
In the current directory you get a gziped .diff patch file
as well as the original source. You need to apply the
patch for the source to work without any troubles.
That's the way with debian based distros.
Let me know if that helps.
