wow - an update for VAC 4.0
[link|http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q=visual+age+c%2b%2b+os%2f2&uid=swg24000729&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=en|FixPak 1] was released November 2002. Guess the "won't be fixed" was incorrect. Apparently Mozilla is migrating off VAC++ to GCC. From [link|http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=1706104106%40f146.n450.z2.ftn&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain|this post] about Mozilla 1.4a: We will hopefully be releasing a GCC ersion of this milestone as well so people can compare the two, since this will probably be the last milestone compile with VACPP.
Michael Kaply IBM I believe the emulators I'm porting were done using GCC under Linux, probably a good reason to go that route.

gcc 3.2.1 available for warp
This is thanks to the Moz folks as they move from VAC to gcc. I have a copy, but it wasn't from an open source (ie - internal beta of the port). Take a peek at the usual sites to see if it's made it there yet. If not, shoot me an email and I'll see if I can fire it your way.

I must be blind
Didn't have any luck googling, but I recalled reading something in VOICE that LAME was now being complied using the latest GCC. I sent Paul an email yesterday asking where to find it. I just checked it again to see who I'd sent the email to and the announcement directly above the LAME announcement is GCC v3.2.1 for OS/2 released
There is a build of the GCC v3.2.1 compiler for OS/2 sitting on the OS/2 Netlabs FTP site in the incoming directory.
It's currently residing in [link|ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/gcc-3.2.1-r2|ftp://ftp.netlabs.or...ming/gcc-3.2.1-r2] but will probably be moved soon to [link|ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc|ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc] I just checked Netlabs and see it's already been moved to [link|ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc-3.2.1-r2|ftp://ftp.netlabs.or.../gcc/gcc-3.2.1-r2]

I for one am glad to see...
That GCC is becoming more and more common on more and more platforms...
I get all teary eye'd upon seeing it.
Now, I wonder if Microsoft could/would try to compile Windows with it someday soon... maybe already have...
I know, IBM has done some real work in bring GCC readily available to the AIX crowd. So has HP for the HP-PA and (what used to be DEC) for the Alpha.
Maybe Intel will finally start to push GCC now that they are getting heavily involved with it...
I know AMD has a few people in on it's development.
We shall see.

I'm wondering
Since GCC is now used for the O/2 port of Mozilla, will GNU make OS/2 an "offically supported" platform...

It would really...
Breathe life back into OS/2. Not that it is dead, by any means... just that things woudl once again prove OS/2 critics to be wrong.

Fark the cat...
...OS/2 has more lives. ;)
After 9/11, Bush made two statements: 1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity." 2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."
Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

So we hava a GCC capable of compiling . .
. . a program as large and complex as Mozilla. What does this mean for the ability to port Open Office to OS/2?
