> - is there a C++ compiler? Any plans for it? Cfront is available but you will be shocked if you expect it to replace gcc - it is very old now, and though it could be improved if somone was willing to do the work it would require quite some dedication.
Getting g++ to work would be the best way to get a modern C++ compiler on plan9 for free. If you have money the Comeau computing supply both a portable compiler and a GCC compliant C++ to C translator (both based on the EDG front-end), however there is no plan9 port, yet. http://www.comeaucomputing.com/ http://www.edg.com/ -Steve
