They plop an older version named kgcc in for kernel development... root at bigtime:~$ kgcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-glibc21-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release) root at bigtime:~$ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0) Heh. They even tagged it Red Hat. Of course, Red Hat does own Cygnus now, which makes finding Cygwin hidden in RedHat's website somewhere impossible to find except with a search. Blah... Userspacewise I've had no problem, XMMS and SDL and friends have compiled flawlessly. Which makes me very very happy, and glad I microwaved my Mandrake CD... g++ is pretty messed up though. It has the headers at least. ;) But it tends to crash on bad code, rather than giving any useful errors and terminating gracefully. Though it still at least gives you a line number... Makes it kind of scary to use for newbie C++ development. ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
