--program-suffix

--program-suffix

[Albert Jongkit Wong]

I'm trying to install multiple versions of gcc onto a system so that users 
can select which version they wish to use.  I'd like to be able to install 
gcc so that the version numbers are mangled into the binary names (eg. 
g++-2.95.3, cpp-2.95.3, etc.)

The documentation made mention of --program-suffix, but applying this 
option seemed to have no effect. I tried this both on gcc2.95.3 and 
gcc3.0.3, the two versions I am trying to install. 

Any ideas how I may go about doing this?  In the worst case, I was 
thinking of renaming the binaries by hand, but I think this would require 
some changes to the source so that the programs could find each other and 
thus is a less than optimal solution.

Thanks,
Albert

compiling on solaris

[Hitesh Sharma]

I was trying to compile a program on solaris which was compiling
successfully on linux.
The problem is when I include a specific header file (libwww) I get parse
error at the place where ave defined a variable of the type time_t.


I have no clues , how to deal with it ...
Thanks for suggestions

hitesh


I don't know if what I am going to ask is a worth asking here or not but I
have been trying for very long.
