Just so everyone knows, this has nothing to do with Sun Studio. This is just to see if we can move forward in the migration to using GCC 4.4.x as the default GCC versus GCC 3.4.x. What are/were the issues involved in doing this and concerns with building things like ON_b116? As of today, I've submitted the modified SPEC file for GCC 4.4.0 and existing patches into JUCR as a work project for IPS packaging. If you can go into JUCR you will see it. I'll spend some time converting it for JUCR's syntax and maybe make some progress with Sun on the effort. Hopefully, this will spark the GCCfss resources to update to GCCfss 4.4.0 as well (see: http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc). Note: The idea started when I wanted Phoronix to do their testing benchmark article using GCC 4.4.0 with OpenSolaris 2009.06 versus Fedora 11. We noticed IPS only have GCC 4.3.2 at the time - so I started reviewing what we needed to migrating the Sun GCC packages to GCC 4.4.0. That's it in a nutshell! Time and resource issues withstanding. ~ Ken Mays _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
