Greetings,
I am in the need to understand how to compile and link to a different
version of gcc.
Background - we have a server with old slack distro running egcs 1.12 (Don't
ask long story) there are some apps and support libs that are needed to run,
./configure bombs with the current version we are running, I have tested
these needed libs and apps on a recent version and ./configure make work
just fine. I have followed the FAQ and some mailing list suggestions on
compiling and installing a different versions now I have no idea how I can
get them into my envirement so ./configure will use the new version of gcc.
Suggestions and directions are welcomed.
Thank you
Jim
a configure --help issues:
Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
CPPFLAGS C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP C preprocessor
And that''s how you can manage to choose your compiler ...
