Hello,
I have two issues with selecting the appropriate version of gcc:
1, There is the port net/verlihub, that needs gcc 3.3 that is broken
under amd64. What solution do You recommend?
You could try it with the system compiler, but chances are it depends
on gcc 3.3 because later versions cannot compile it (they are stricter
about the conforming code they will compile, particularly C++)
I've tried it, but unfortunately it fails. If I download the official
tarball and try to compile that, it succeeds, however. Accordingly, I
think the port can be fixed to compile with the stock compiler, but
unfortunately I can't figure out what the problem is.
2, There are gcc snapshots in the ports collection like lang/gcc34,
lang/gcc40, lang/gcc41, but there aren't releaes, just snapshots. Are
these gcc snapshots as reliable as the releases are? Can I use for
instance lang/gcc34 for production goals instead of the stock compiler,
or is it just for development/testing usage?
Not for building world, but you can use them for your own purposes.
But if these aren't so reliable as the gcc releases are, why don't we
have the releases in the ports collection instead of the snapshots? Or
has anybody thought of porting the official releases as lang/gcc401 or
something like that?
