Post #21,044 by scoenye 12/11/01 4:07:00 PM Reply	RedHat's GCC GCC 2.96 is a dead-end development snapshot taken on the way to GCC 3.0. There are a number of things out there it doesn't like. I couldn't get XFree86 4.1.0 to compile properly with it. (2.91.66 is also included to compile kernels, but it takes some rewiring to use it as the default compiler)
Post #21,047 by pwhysall 12/11/01 4:26:33 PM Reply	Re: RedHat's GCC Eh? I run 7.2 here and am talking to you direct from my own home-brewed XFree86 4.1.0, compiled with 2.96... GCC is in a state of flux right now. GCC 3.0 won't compile a kernel right. Earlier than 2.96 have borked C++. 2.96 is a snapshot. Go figure.

Post #21,199 by scoenye 12/12/01 3:19:34 PM Reply	Dunno what I did wrong then ... I'm usually pretty good at following compile instructions. I didn't specify any funny options either. GCC 2.96 died halfway through (can't recall the exact spot anymore) signalling an error in the code. I couldn't see anything wrong in the code or in the include file tree. I downloaded GCC 3.0 after that and it compiled the same XFree86 source without errors.
