What is the point of updating the gcc you use? Don't you just run the risk of making incompatible with existing systems. For example, I just bought a MacBook Pro last summer. It was shipped with gcc 4.0.1. If its good enough for Apple, what is gained by 3rd party software using more recent versions. Don't you then have to bundle gcc with GHDL?
I don't know. It seems like every open source product has its own version of gcc. Whatever happened to backward compatibility. --Not much of a software guy Greg On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 12:59 AM, Tristan Gingold <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 12:13:53AM +0100, Lluís Batlle wrote: >> Hello, >> >> are there any plans to make ghdl build with the gcc 4.4.x tree? > > Hi, > > I don't know if I will switch to gcc 4.4.x or directly to gcc 4.5 > >> If it is supposed to work, I can attempt the builds.
