Problems With Zgcc, "source" command doesn't work for su Options

[Fraggy]

Can anybody help me out?

I'm trying to install the "ZGCC GNU Compiler Suite Release 2.02" on my Zaurus.
(http://s91215199.onlinehome.us/zaurus/)

Configuration instructions are here: http://s91215199.onlinehome.us/zaurus/zgcc2install.html

But I get stuck on the part where I have to configure the compiler

I have to run "source zgcc.sh" as root, but root doesn't recognize the command "source"...

Any suggestions?

Are you using root during the installaton?

I have to run "source zgcc.sh" as root, but root doesn't recognize the command "source"...

To me it looks like this command should run the shell-script zgcc.sh. If this is true, you could try

CODE

sh zgcc.sh

In bash source can also be done wth the . command. So you want to type

CODE

. zgcc.sh

If that still gives you erros then you are most probably not running bash but ash.
Try running

CODE

bash

at the prompt as root, then try source or . again

Freizugheit: yes I was running the installation as root.

Stu: Indeed both methods do the job, thanks!

I still haven't gotten the compiler to run, 'cause now I got a misconfiguration in the compiler config, but the source command works again!
