Subject: gcc in alternatives?
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Package: gcc-3.0
Severity: wishlist
Version: 1:3.0.2-0pre010908
Hi!
I would be glad if gcc would install itself in the Debian alternatives
system. gcc-3.0 is quite stable, and I would like to test it by using it as
my standard compiler; as it does not set /usr/bin/gcc (and rightly so), I
thought it would be really nice to have alternatives.
Thank you.

fine with me. for the record here the explanation:
gcc-x.y doesn't use alternatives to make sure that the preferred
system compiler is used when calling 'gcc'. switching the compiler
may break your system (will break for C++). In most gcc-x.y versions
ABI's are different.
If you want to test gcc-x.y for a particular package,
- use CC=gcc-x.y CXX=g++-x.y when configuring/compiling a package
- make ~<user>/bin/gcc a symlink to gcc-x.y and add it to your path
- if you know what you do, there is the option to divert the gcc/g++
links.
closing the reports, adding to our karma.
