hello,
can you tell me what the differences are between egcs and
libstdc++ ? they both seem to give me c++ compilers, both
come from cygnus (yes?). is one newer, one a replacement
for the other?
thanks,
dan

libstdc++ is an implementation of the standard C++ library, it
is not a compiler. egcs is a collection of compilers, including
a C++ compiler (as well as a C and FORTRAN compiler). You
usually need both to do any C++ development.

It is unlikely that libstdc++ gives you a C++ compiler.

No. Both egcs and libstdc++ come from lots of dedicated
people from across the net, some of which work for Cygnus,
many of which do not.

No.
