GCC 4.2.2 RC2 Available
GCC 4.2.2 RC2 is now available from: ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/4.2.2-RC-20070927y If you want to help test this release candidate, please download files from the directory given above, rather than checking out from SVN, so that we can catch any packaging problems. If you find problems, please file them in the GCC bug-tracker. See: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html for instructions regarding fixing bugs. You may CC: me on the bug report, but please do not send mail directly to me about problems. If all goes to plan, I will make the final GCC 4.2.2 release next week.

Otherwise let me know. I don't want to be annoying. ] Would you consider the patch in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-09/msg01735.html before the release? Also, the script that generates the release is supposed to generate the install documents but, that doesn't seem to be working because GCC 4.0.0 and GCC 4.1.0 contained a lot of HTML files in INSTALL/. However, the HTML files are missing in GCC 4.2.0 and in this GCC 4.2.2 RC2. Cheers, Manuel.

I should read the complete mail before replying (* 1000 times). I'll open two PRs for these. Beg your pardon, Manuel.

In general, if you send me a message explicitly (i.e., I'm in the To: or Cc: field), and you don't get a reply, the right assumption is that either I've not replied yet, or that I've somehow missed the message. In either case, if you feel it's urgent, please feel free to ping me again -- as you did here. > Would you consider the patch in > http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-09/msg01735.html before the > release? It doesn't look like that patch has been approved for mainline. If it is approved there, then it is OK for the 4.2 branch, after the 4.2.2 release. > Also, the script that generates the release is supposed to generate > the install documents but, that doesn't seem to be working because GCC > 4.0.0 and GCC 4.1.0 contained a lot of HTML files in INSTALL/. > However, the HTML files are missing in GCC 4.2.0 and in this GCC 4.2.2 > RC2. Good catch. Looking back at the build logs, I see: /scratch/mitchell/gcc-releases/gcc-4.2.2-RC-20070927/gcc-4.2.2-RC-20070927/gcc/doc/include/gcc-common.texi:11: @include `gcc-vers.texi': No such file or directory. It looks like the problem here is that the release script builds the documentation before building the compiler. That used to work, but no longer does, because the documentation now depends on a file that is created by the build process. So, the right fix is probably to (a) apply your patch or an equivalent, and then (b) modify the release script so that instead of explicitly building the installation docs before the compiler is built, it does that afterwards -- or just relies on the compiler build to install the documentation. In either case, I don't think that this is a showstopper. (AFAIK, you're the first person to notice this, and you've indicated that it's now a relatively long-standing bug.)

This is bug #31955 in Bugzilla. It is rather annoying, because the online installation instructions only cover mainline (see bug #32927). Regards, Anders Montonen
