As Monkey is dependent of the Kernel, it make sense to depends of the same requirements, per Kernel documentation: COMPILING the kernel: - Make sure you have at least gcc 3.2 available. For more information, refer to Documentation/Changes. So i think that we must require minimum a gcc 3.2. If newer versions of the compiler comes with great features we can analyze and discuss if required, comments? -- Eduardo Silva http://edsiper.linuxchile.cl http://www.monkey-project.com _______________________________________________ Monkey mailing list [email protected] http://lists.monkey-project.com/listinfo/monkey
