Oh boy. First there is README and FAQ for GCC 2.2.2d (or
release note) YOU REALLY SHOULD READ IT!
It says that you can use old GCC (2.2.2) EXCEPT for one
thing: setjmp.
That has changed and if you look in the header you will
see that setjmp is now a macro. So you should compile
your program with -V 2.2.2 option, but make sure you
read FAQ on how to install 2.2.2d with 2.2.2 left.
Also, most X applications will only work when compiled
with -V 2.2.2 option - don't know why (FAQ? ;) but that's
life.
On the other hand I (with all my wisdom ;) ;) can't get
xv to work too! It hangs my server. I will try again
today with static library - heard it helps.
And hope it helps you . Good luck ... .
