I need to install an older GCC to compile a particular piece of software. At

I've managed to compile 8.4 and it works, but I need 8.1.
As a long-time C programmer, I'm curious why you need an older C compiler.
Okay thanks Don. I'm trying to compile Gnucash 3.10 which has not been a
problem in the past. The dependencies at present stress the use of GCC 8.0
If I knew what problem gcc 8.4 is causing, maybe I could help get it working,
so you don't need to compile 8.1. I'm willing to give it a shot if I had more
details.
I've compiled Gnucash 3.10 with GCC 8.1 abeit on another LFS(older).
Copy the binary from the old system to the new one? Would be a lot
easier than trying to rebuild it.

On my newer LFS it fails with GCC 9.2 AND 8.4 which as I mentioned I got
working on the same system. I hope you're still with me.
Anyway.. the errors that the compilers are producing, with Gnucash, look like
compiler errors. Not missing libraries or fuctions etc. They are substantial
and I could mail them if you can help.
thanks again
Cliff
