Subject: ANNOUNCE: gcc-3.0.2 for DJGPP updated


> This is an announcement of updated DJGPP port of gcc-3.0.2
>
> GCC used to stand for the GNU C Compiler, but since the compiler
> supports several other languages aside from C, it now stands for
> the GNU Compiler Collection.
>
> GCC 3.0.x has several new optimizations, new targets, new languages
> and many other new features, relative to GCC 2.95.x. See the new
> features page for a more complete list.
>
> Main change since first release of DJGPP port of gcc-3.0.2:
>
> I inluded fix for -fomit-frame-pointer problems. So now one should
> be able to build Allegro with this update of gcc-3.0.2 for DJGPP
>
> See http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/ for more information about gcc-3.0.2
>
> Currently C, C++, Fortran and Objective C compilers are supported
> for DJGPP. Java compiler is not ported and is not included
>
> Also libg++ is no more included and will not be included in future.

> Archives are available from DJGPP distribution in Simtelnet
> (and mirror sites) in directory v2gnu:

>
> There are 6 archives:
>    readme-gcc-3.0.2.txt - readme file from DJGPP port of GCC-3.0.2. It's
in
>                   separate file to avoid need to download large archives
>                   to get this file.
>    gcc302s.zip  - sources of gcc-3.0.2. I put all sources in a single
>                   archive. This file is only needed if You're want to
>                   rebuild gcc-3.0.2 from sources.
>    gcc302b.zip  - binaries of C compiler
>    gpp302b.zip  - binaries of C++ compiler (needs gcc302b.zip)
>    g77302b.zip  - binaries of Fortran compiler (needs gcc302b.zip)
>    objc302b.zip - binaries of Objective C compiler (needs gcc302b.zip)
>    gcc302s2.zip - shell script and patches for original gcc-3.0.2.
>                   I used them to generate gcc-3.0.2 sources for DJGPP
>                   (gcc2953s.zip).

> Files user need:

>    Objective-C            gcc302b.zip, objc302b.zip
>
> NOTE: gcc302b.zip contains file cxxfilt.exe and there is file with same
name in
>       binutils (bnu2112b.zip). You can safely overwrite the old one.

> For more information about this port see archive

> after unpacking either gcc302b.zip or gcc302s.zip or get file
> readme-gcc-3.0.2.txt from directory v2gnu in DJGPP distribution

> Also please DON'T mix C++ libraries (or object files) built with
> different compiler versions. C++ sources should be recompiled (seems

> System requirements
> ===================
>
> DJGPP-2.03 or above (otherwise exceptions will not work at all)
>
> binutils-2.11.2 or above. It's no more possible to use binutils-2.8.1
>   or 2.9.1. Command line option -mno-bnu210 is no more supported.

> Some warning for users of C++. C++ compiler in gcc-3.0.2 does more strict
> syntax checking than gcc and egcs versions older than gcc-3.0. As result
> errors are generated in many places where earlier one got warnings.
