GCC 4.3.2 is now available FROM Paul Smedley's web site. http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/ "Mainly due to the fact that GCC 3.3.5 (which is what is currently used by kLibc) is becoming too old to build the latest Mozilla trunk code, I started working on building a newer version of GCC. I've started with v3.4.6 - as the thought was that the amount of changed between 3.3.5 and 3.4.6 would be comparatively small compared with aiming for the 'latest' GCC (currently 4.3.2). I now have builds of 3.4.6, 4.0.4 and 4.3.2 The current binary of GCC 4.3.2 has been used to build several projects successfully - ie rsync, Apache2, MySQL, Firefox 3.0-cvs, Ghostscript, ffmpeg amongst others Known Issues with the current 4.3.2 release (2008-10-12b) - no support yet for the GOMP multiprocessor library - link warning when using -Zomf - emxomf will require updating to deal with the new stabs types, but according to Knut, these warnings can be safely ignored, and only affect debugging Updates since original build - the date in brackets reflects the first build that contained the fix - Added threading support (2008-10-11 build) - fixed problem with stdcall that produced errors like ':75: Error: invalid character '_' in mnemonic' (2008-10-12 build) - fixed (hopefully) 'internal compiler error' crashes when -fPIC is used (2008-10-12 build) - Added support for precompiled headers based on cygwin code (untested) (2008-10-12b build) - Fixed 'gcc conftest.c -lgcc' produced -lgcc.exe (20081012b build) Problems with this build can be reported using my bug tracker at http://mantis.smedley.info " Current binaries: GCC 4.3.2 2008-10-12b release http://download.smedley.info/gcc-4.3.2-os2-20081012b.zip GCC 4.3.2 2008-10-11 release patches http://download.smedley.info/gcc-4.3.2-os2-20081011-patch.zip Please let Paul know if you find this software useful. He needs user feedback to continue work on these projects. He maintains a bug tracker for many projects at http://mantis.smedley.info It just requires a simple registration.
