Using old gcc. How to do? Is it safe?
Hya,
I have lenny Penguin, with gcc-4.3. I need to use older gcc's (4.2 or 4.1) to compile. Makefile is complicated (many children, grandchildren) so that I am reluctant to modify them. I know how to switch under MacOSX, but not debian. Question 1. How to do? I installed older versions using aptitude, then made links (gcc and g++). Web search says that "ccontrol" takes care, but I could not figure out how it works. Question 2. Does it make my penguin unstable? Is binary stable? Thank you for replies. Happy Penguins! |

No problem using them all ( except for kernel compilation )
They are all very stable, but with some differences. gcc-2.95.3 gcc-3.3.6 gcc-3.4 gcc-4.1.2 gcc-4.2 gcc-4.3.2 And can be used by starting a command with e.g. for gcc : CC=gcc4.2 ./configure or CC=gcc4.2 make g++ : CXX=g++4.2 ... or whatever you have in /usr/bin so in fact changing the link is not necessary. .... |
