Dear Managers,
While waiting for Compaq service to call me back about RIS
(previous post) I amused myself by trying to install gcc-2.95. We
primarily use C++ here and the installation instructions suggest
unpacking gcc-2.95 inside the directory tree from libstdc++. I can't
find a version of libstdc++ that works. Has anyone found one?
i) I tried libstdc++-2.8.1.1, the most recent version I could
find on the GNU site. The compile churned away for about 3 hours and
apparently compiled gcc itself, but then it blew up spectacularly in
libstdc++ with about a dozen serious errors in one file. I can give
you the messages and indeed a complete log of the compile if desired.
ii) I tried libstdc++-2.90.6 from the Cygnus site. They admit
this is a "snapshot" of a work in progress and it's broken. Amen to
that; I couldn't get this to compile either.
Larry
