Re: CT: Any obstacles for using gcc 4.0 snapshots?


Hi Robert,

Scanning the latest CT (rc37) getandpatch.sh I noticed that you don't
support fetching snapshots from the 4.0 snapshots:

Right, I've been MIA. But I hope to try 4.0 soon.

Is there anything hindering this?

Not that I know.



Do you reckon I could make a gcc-4.0-20050305-glibc-2.2.5.dat for PPC405
without any complications?

Heh. Try it and see. Send a patch with the download fix and anything else you find.

I applied the patch that you submitted, and got to fetch and started compiling. However, it died compiling glibc-2.2.5 with the following fault:

=== 8< 8< 8< ===
checking for powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcc... powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcc
checking version of powerpc-405-linux-gnu-gcc ... 4.0.0, bad
checking for gnumake... no
checking for gmake... no
checking for make... make
checking version of make... 3.80, ok
configure: error:
*** These critical programs are missing or too old:gcc
=== 8< 8< 8< ===

Is this doomed?
i don't think so.  from memory, you get this error with gcc 4.0
because of the way checking is done.  i really will have to go back
and see what i did to build a toolchain with a gcc-4.0 source.
That would be super!
I tried with glibc-2.3.3 - that failed, as well.
Now it's compiling with glibc-2.3.2 - there seems to some "gcc*allow*" stuff in the "patches"-dir for that version...
