The machine I have been using for RH73 LFDS development on linux is no longer available so I need access to a new machine to develop the RH73 version of scripts.so and bhs.so on.
All I would need is the abillity to telnet or SSH to it and to FTP files to and from it. Also, it would need to have a working copy of the RH73 LFDS (and matching libraries) so that I can test stuff (i.e. a copy that I can do stuff to). Also (and most importantly), it needs a copy of "gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)" on it as that is the compiler that I have been using the compile the RH73 LFDS and several ASM hacks (in bhs.so most notably) may break if compiled with some other compiler.
I do not require huge amounts of bandwidth or disk space and would be using this just to compile and test the RH73 versions of scripts.so and bhs.so. I would need this on a semi-ongoing basis so that I can develop scripts.dll 3.0 and future versions on it.

The alternative is that I drop support for the RH73 LFDS completly from scripts.so/bhs.so. Dont suggest "install it yourself" as an alternative because I dont have any machines that I can install linux on (and installing it in a virtual machine is not an option either for all sorts of reasons I cant go into) plus I dont even know where to GET "gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)"

If push comes to shove, another machine with a different version of GCC on it (but still a 2.9x machine that can run the RH73 LFDS) would probobly suffice as I could check and if need be fix those ASM hacks that could be a problem.

i dont think you need to downgrade if you have a upper version of gcc than 2.95 just add a -2.95 in the g++,gcc thing Big Ups

Visit and dream about it http://pb-live.team64.eu

Blazer has found packages for gcc 2.95 that should work just fine for this work (I hope).
