From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "John Green" To: Subject: RE: Please help identify GCC 2.96 Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 15:41:00 -0000 Message-id: References: X-SW-Source: 2001-10/msg00230.html This was posted by Paolo Carlini within the past week or two: ------ 1- Despite its misleading name, gcc2.96 is *not* an official GNU release (see, f.i., http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-announce/2000/msg00003.html ) and you should more appropriately contact the RedHat support. 2- If you want to stick with RedHat development tools, you may consider trying gcc2.96-99 (vs 2.96-81, right?) which is part of the "unstable" Rawhide distribution (f.i., ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/ ) and in general is less buggy. 3- If you are still in the process of updating your development chain (from the very old 2.7.x) consider testing GNU's gcc2.95.3 or the new 3.0.x series of official releases (3.0.x is also available as *rpm packages in the Rawhide distribution, by the way). ------ Regards, John > -----Original Message----- > From: gcc-help-owner@gcc.gnu.org [ mailto:gcc-help-owner@gcc.gnu.org]On > Behalf Of Imbrie, Andy > Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 3:32 AM > To: 'help-gcc@gnu.org' > Subject: Please help identify GCC 2.96 > > > > I am trying to get information about the released version of > GCC which is > > labeled 2.96.
