Re: Why should we not use GCC 4.0 for deployment on systems earlier than Mac OS X 10.3.9?

There is a setting to cross develop using target SDK which allows you to compile to a target OS say MACOSX10.1.5
You can alter this setting by selecting Project from the main menu
Then choose Edit Project Settings
Then Cross DEvelop Using Target SDK is about half way down

That doesn't answer the question the poster (Palo Markovic) asked. He was asking:


Is it possible to make static libstdc++ library from gcc sources and link against this? Could this way work out? I've tried it but with no success so far. I'd like to use gcc4 optimizations and also support 10.2 systems.

This has nothing to do with SDKs; this has to do with building a static version of libstdc++ for GCC 4. I don't know if there's a way to build a static libstdc++ library for GCC 4, but even if it could be built, it still won't produce binaries that will run on Jaguar systems, because GCC 4 insists on linking binaries to libmx, which Jaguar lacks.


Even if Jaguar had libmx, there is some doubt out there that GCC 4 is producing significantly more optimized binaries than previous releases as of version 4.0.0: <http://www.coyotegulch.com/reviews/ gcc4/index.html>
