The one on aminet in the geekgadgets dir is very old, get gcc from
geekgadgets.org. This will solve a lot of problems. Also there is a
guide to what is needed for standard setup. You may need some files
from the alpha directory.

You create them via configure. Read the docs section on creating them
since I have not used it yet.

Simple.
gcc -c -o Test1.o Test1.cpp
will create object file called Test1.o from Test1.cpp. The -o is for
output(in this case Test1.o), the -c is so it wont link with anything.
So you do that for all files eg.
gcc -c -o Test1.o Test1.cpp
gcc -c -o Test2.o Test2.cpp
Then to link you do
gcc -o Test Test1.o Test2.o
As you may have noticed the gcc command is clever and calls the
linker and assembler(and the rest) by itself.

The latter versions(and download 2.95.1) use os-include for the os
includes, but download fd2pragma from aminet to create the inlines
for gcc.

Most likely this is a stack size issue, increase it to 200,000. Also
as it is a port from unix remember they need lots of stack.
