I hope you can help me and sorry for my bad english

Welcome to LQ.

Which Ubuntu version ?
AFAIK, old gcc is more than difficult to build on the 3 latest versions.

And : The two links you show are dated year 2004 :
Not valid for gcc-4.2.0.

.

Thank you for your answer i thinked that the tutorials for every gcc version and the ubuntu version that i have is

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

A 32bits OS ?

The command : 'uname -m' will show.

( I have some .deb packages, gcc / g++ version 4.1.2, 32bits (i386)
made on Ubuntu 11.04, modified to 12.04, may be you can use those ? )

i686 im a newbie in Linux i only want gcc version 4.2.0 :D

EDIT: I want 4.2.0 becaue the Unity Masterserver (Unity is a game engine), and i read that i can compiled them only with 4.2.0 because of RakNet 3.0

How about gcc version 4.2.4 ?

That's a bug fix version of 4.2.0

Ok i can test it how i get this? And install

./configure
make
make install

???

Please provide a direct download link to "Unity Masterserver".
And the name of the file you have downloaded.

There can be used no ./configure in gcc.
GCC requires a build folder outside the source folder gcc-4.2.x/.

Code:

../gcc-4.2.4/configure --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-4.2 --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++

But it won't work on Ubuntu 12.04, AFAIK.

.

Here you can download the Masterserver: http://www.unity3d.com/master-server/index.html

Quote:

But it won't work on Ubuntu 12.04, AFAIK.

What would be work?

OK, MasterServer-2.0.1f1 :

sudo apt-get install g++-4.4

Please edit the MasterServer-2.0.1f1/Makefile, line 4 to :
CC=g++-4.4

... and run 'make' :
The executable file 'MasterServer' gets created within a few seconds.

.

Ok Thank you i get a Masterserver file :D Yet i have one question, i think this question is stupid but iam a newbie, how i can start/open the file?

Ok i open this with ./MasterServer

Thank you for your time :D
