install gcc 3.4 along side gcc 4 problem on ubuntu 11.10
Hi all,
I have an ubuntu 11.10 server which I mainly use for text game development. I was considering using a text game codebase which is no longer supported but I have been told is easily maintainable. For that reason, I tried compiling it... but lots of errors occurred when doing so. I was told by the same people that it compiled fine under gcc 3.x, so I installed gcc 3.4 from the hardey repos. Now gcc is installed, but it can't create executibles because (so I've been told) binutils is not installed or something similar. I would just do apt-get install build-essential, but I already have that package with gcc 4, I need all the other things that work with gcc 3.4. So that leads me to my question: How to install binutils and other required software for gcc 3.4 along side all the required software for gcc 4? Thanks, -Michael. |
First : You can have as many versions of gcc as you want,
installed at the same time. But : No old Ubuntu compilers will work in Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10 etc. It's not about binutils or any other package : The gcc binary is hard coded with certain search path's. And the later Ubuntu's have got new hideaway locations for : libgcc_s.so.1, { crt1.o crti.o crtn.o }, "/usr/include/": asm/: bits/: gnu/: sys/ . "gcc" has search path's for finding files in it's own directories. The missing files can be copied or linked into "old gcc" : Then the modifications will not alter your system files. Example : A "gcc41-compat 11.04" modified for 11.10 .. Code:
sudo cp -a /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm/ /usr/gcc41/lib/gcc/i386-linux-gnu/4.1.2/include/ gcc41-compat 11.10 https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...NjZmMHkyaE9Odw g++41-compat https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...hjMjljN2M2MGU4 gcc34-compat 11.04 https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...gxNGI0MTQ4YTY4 g++34-compat https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...RkMWIxMzIyNDEz . |
