- Using gcc requires MPW 3.1 interfaces and libraries, MPW C, and MPW Asm. It
- is slower than and requires more memory than MPW C, so I imagine you would
- have to have fairly specific interests to use it.
-
- The version of gcc out there was 1.37 or something like that. 2.2 was "sort-of"
- ported last summer (just the C part, not C++ or ObjC)
-
- I'd look for an old Dev CD for the 3.1 stuff.
