"specs" related problems

[Serguei DACHIAN <Serguei dot Dachian at univ-lemans dot fr>]

Hi everybody.

I have three questions about the "specs" file.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok.  Thanks a lot, Larry.  Now I have set BOTH!!! "C_INCLUDE_PATH" and
"CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" environment variables to "/usr/local/include", and so
both gcc and g++ find my include files from "/usr/local/include".  But the
question is: can (and how) one do it via "specs" file???  (Just to avoid
setting this additional environment variables.)  I have tried to play a bit
with the "specs" file, but I can't figure it out.

Ok.  Thanks a lot, Mumit.  Though, I have had to get more that just
"mingw-libs.tar.gz", since I use, for example, math functions, and so I link
with "-lm" and I need the "libm.a".  So, I downloaded the whole binary
distribution of mingw, took all the "lib*.a" files from it, and put them in
the directory "/usr/local/libmingw". Now compiling/linking with
"-mno-cygwin -L/usr/local/libmingw"
works fine for me.

Ok, this whould be surely a much better (even I'd say the best) solution,
but HOW???  I have tried to play a bit with the "specs" file, but I can't
figure it out.

   III.)
And finally a genreal guestion.  What is the general syntax, possible
options, possible values, etc. for the "specs file???  Is this documented
somewhere???
I have searched in FAQ and in the UserGuide, but there is nothing:-((.


Once again, thanks in advance for any help; merry xmas and happy new year to
everybody.

Serguei.
