- Greetings to all gnurus.
-
- I have just downloaded g++-2.3.tar.Z and libg++-2.3.tar.Z from
- directory /pub/gnu on server ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com. (wish I had that
- mail-unsplitter compiled already!!) I have had lots of grief on my
- HP-9000/827 from trying to compile g++-2.2.2 and I just gave up when I
- found out about 2.3.3.
-
- Recently louqun@cs.tamu.edu (Qun Lou) posted a success story - I will
- quote the relevant parts here:
-
- |1. Before installing gcc 2.3.3, I deleted all the previous gcc stuff
- | in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib and in /usr/local/bin.
- |
- |2. Necessary files for successful installation:
- |
- |bison in /usr/local/bin
- |gas as emphasized in gcc 2.3.3 README, gas should be installed
- | *before* installing gcc as
- | '/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/hp835-hpux/2.3.3/as'
- |
- |3. Configuration usage (same for gcc 2.3.3 and libg++-2.3):
- |
- |./configure hp835-hpux --gas --with-gnu-as
- |/*
- | * do stage1 and stage2 compiling as stated in INSTALL file
- | * and finally must do
- | */
- |
- |make compare
-
- Getting a directory listing of /pub/gnu I got the following
- information on bison and GAS:
-
- bison-1.19.tar.Z was created on 09/28/1992 - looks recent enough
- gas-1.38.1.tar.Z was created on 01/28/1991 - nearly two years old!!
-
- I will be downloading these in any case but I would like to know in
- advance:
-
- - How are we expected to compile these? using our local C compiler
- (I hope) or is gcc expected to be here already? You can see I'm
- concerned about a catch-22 situation. (When I tried unsuccesfully
- to compile bash people were telling me "Get gcc - it'll solve all
- your problems!)
-
- - Is this the most recent version of GAS in the universe? If not,
- which server should I connect to to get the latest? I do notice
- the 1.38 version number - is this tied to the version of an old
- g++ release?
-
- Please reply be e-mail to jacob@informix.com (though I think this
- might be of general enough concern to post a reply as well).
-
- Thanks very much for any help.
