OpenBSD 3.9 suplies {gcc,g++,g77} 3.3.5 with propolice as part of the base OS install (they live in /usr/bin). For people who need/want newer gcc versions, there are packages for gcc 3.3.6 and various snapshots of newer versions (3.4-20060103, 4.0-20060105, 4.1-20050909).
The purpose of *this* message is to warn people that a direct install of gcc 4.1.1 (= the current release) on OpenBSD 3.9 (-release) doesn't work properly has problems: it compiles 'hello world' fine, but trying to compile a large application (a mixture of C, C++, Fortran 77, and Fortran 90) dies with (spurious) fatal compiler error messages reported inside an internal gcc header file. Compiling the same application with gcc 4.1.1 on an i686-pc-linux-gnu system works fine, so this problem seems to be an OpenBSD-gcc interaction. I've reported this to the gcc project; it's http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28582 ciao, -- -- Jonathan Thornburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Max-Planck-Institut fuer Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut), Golm, Germany, "Old Europe" http://www.aei.mpg.de/~jthorn/home.html "Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam
