Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: gcc-3.0 Severity: wishlist Version: 1:3.0.2-0pre010908 Hi! I would be glad if gcc would install itself in the Debian alternatives system. gcc-3.0 is quite stable, and I would like to test it by using it as my standard compiler; as it does not set /usr/bin/gcc (and rightly so), I thought it would be really nice to have alternatives. Thank you. -- vbi --------------------------------------- Received: (at 119952-done) by bugs.debian.org; 29 Jul 2003 20:26:38 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 29 15:26:35 2003 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from mail.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.13] by master.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 19hb3K-0005ZC-00; Tue, 29 Jul 2003 15:26:35 -0500 Received: from bolero.cs.tu-berlin.de ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [130.149.19.1]) by mail.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA17686; Tue, 29 Jul 2003 22:25:26 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) by bolero.cs.tu-berlin.de (8.11.6+Sun/8.9.3) id h6TKPQn21928; Tue, 29 Jul 2003 22:25:26 +0200 (MEST) From: Matthias Klose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 22:25:26 +0200 To: Jochen Voss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bug#119952: should bug #119952 be closed?

It is tagged > wontfix and you won't get many new copies, because gcc-3.0 becomes out > of fashion, now. fine with me. for the record here the explanation: gcc-x.y doesn't use alternatives to make sure that the preferred system compiler is used when calling 'gcc'. switching the compiler may break your system (will break for C++). In most gcc-x.y versions ABI's are different. If you want to test gcc-x.y for a particular package, - use CC=gcc-x.y CXX=g++-x.y when configuring/compiling a package - make ~<user>/bin/gcc a symlink to gcc-x.y and add it to your path - if you know what you do, there is the option to divert the gcc/g++ links. closing the reports, adding to our karma.
