I think there may be a hardwired path in the binary download, so you may need to decompress the download twice, first to gg: as usual, and then to: ports2:again/gcc-3.3.1-double-install
eg via:
assign ports2: somewhere makedir ports2:again makedir ports2:again/gcc-3.3.1-double-install
And now decompress here,
I will try and fix this problem, but I think I will have to rebuild from scratch,

I forgot to include i686-pc-aros-collect in the download for the 68k-amigaos hosted cross compiler for x86-aros, so reread the material for 68k-arosx86-collect.lha and the updated readme
Also new is info on how to set up the cross compiler from scratch.
========================================================
By combining the gcc-3.3.1-aros sources with the gcc-3.3.3-68k-amigaos sources I have generated a 68020-nofpu-amigaos hosted cross compiler gcc-3.3.1 for generating x86-AROS binaries. ie you run it on 68k AmigaOS and generate x86-AROS programs.
So people on A1200, A4000, WinUAE, Morphos, Amithlon, OS4 etc can port their programs to generate x86-aros binaries, without requiring to have AROS or a PC or Linux.
I have also ported 68020 amigaos hosted binutils-2.14 for x86-AROS, this is required for the cross compiler gcc to run.
I have tested this out on several AROS graphics demos and all binaries ran correctly on AROS: blackhole, dawafire, firework, flamme, metaballs, newvox and parallax. Several of these are space-age demos so its worth trying them out with this cross compiler. Also hello world compiled correctly.
The c++ part of the port is fully untested, so any feedback on it would be useful.
As I dont have much webspace left I have used .tar.bz2 compression, there are instructions in the readme file on how you decompress these, you will need bzip2 to decompress the files.
So download the readme and other archives and follow the instructions in the readme. You will need to download a further archive from the AROS website to obtain the includes and linker libraries: see the readme for this. The cross compiler will then function fully from within a Geekgadgets environment.

ie getting this cross compiler functioning from scratch.
Download:
Visit:
ftp://ftp.geekgadgets.org/pub/geekgadgets/amiga/m68k/snapshots/990529
Download Boot.lha,
Now click on the directory "bin",
Download:
pdksh-5.2.12-bin.tgz, ixemul-48.0-bin.tgz, gzip-1.2.4-bin.tgz, fifolib-38.4-bin.tgz, fileutils-4.0-bin.tgz
With the downloads in downloads: let somewhere: be a directory to use for Geekgadgets, let this have eg 200Mb free, do the following shell commands:
makedir somewhere:gg ; eg 200Mb free lha -radex x downloads/BOOT.lha somewhere:gg/ >nil: makedir somwhere:gg/etc downloads:whoosh_gg_startup somewhere:gg cd gg: sh tar -v -xzf downloads:fileutils-4.0-bin.tgz tar -v -xzf downloads:pdksh-5.2.12-bin.tgz rm /gg/bin/sh cp /gg/bin/ksh /gg/bin/sh tar -v -xzf downloads:gzip-1.2.4-bin.tgz tar -v -xzf downloads:ixemul-48.0-bin.tgz tar -v -xzf downloads:fifolib-38.4-bin.tgz exit sh
And now everytime you boot up run the following command:
downloads:whoosh_gg_startup somewhere:gg
Now follow the instructions in the readme to install the cross compiler,
