Recompuling linux apps

I found out that when you install x tools, the installer also installs xfree86 onto your system. So if anyone is looking for an easy way to install xfreee86 you should go with x tools.
Now that we have a working xfree86, would all linux apps work under x tools if compiled for the ppc? I am a newbie to the *nix world, so I am not sure how all this stuff works.

to do with function delclaration, nothing big).

What command did you use to configure VIM?? I keep getting an error in regexp.c
 
I am trying to install gcc-2-95-2 on OS X, and I'm running into trouble with the "host" specification.

If I enter

[localhost:/usr/FSF/gcc-2.95.2] root# ./configure --host=powerpc-apple-freebsd

then I get

./configure: read-only variable: PWD [152]
Created "Makefile" in /usr/FSF/gcc-2.95.2
etc.
etc.

and then it quits with

checking if mkdir takes one argument... no
Configuration powerpc-apple-freebsd not supported
Configure in /usr/FSF/gcc-2.95.2/gcc failed, exiting

and if I change the host to "host=powerpc" and enter

[localhost:/usr/FSF/gcc-2.95.2] root# ./configure --host=powerpc

then I get

./configure: read-only variable: PWD [152]
Created "Makefile" in /usr/FSF/gcc-2.95.2
etc.
etc.

and then it quits with

checking if mkdir takes one argument... no
Configuration powerpc-unknown-none not supported
Configure in /usr/FSF/gcc-2.95.2/gcc failed, exiting.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
