- This is GNU GCC 2.8.1, compiled to support C, C++, and Objective-C.
-
- It is supplied as an alternate compiler for Slackware, in case you run into any
- problems with the egcs-1.0.x compiler system used by default. I've found a few
- programs which wouldn't compile with egcs, but in every case gcc-2.8.1 worked
- just fine. For various reasons I think the overall quality is still superior
- with Cygnus' egcs compiler, though.
-
- To make this your default compiler, just install it with 'installpkg'. If you
- decide later to switch back to egcs, just remove this package with 'removepkg'
- and then reinstall egcs with 'installpkg'.
