site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com Stan, It's just a shell script that you could hack up, but I don't recommend you try - FSF 3.4 is missing dozens of features essential to building Mac apps, such as framework path searching, alignment pragmas, and similar kinds of bits. Some of those features are needed by system headers and could cause interesting (heh) runtime problems. Ultra portable pure ISO/K&R C code, such as what GCC itself is written in (for reasons that should be obvious), will be OK, but just one Cocoa or Carbon call can mess you up. So I recommend you install gcc-3.4 under its own name only, and have all of your 3.4-using code ask for 3.4 explicitly by name.

I am involved in porting a C++ class framework we use at work to OSX / Darwin PPC so we can target OSX as well as Win32 and Linux. This code demands gcc3.4, which shouldn't be an issue (gcc3.4 "make bootstrap" seemed to work just fine on my 1.33GHz 12" PowerBook), but I would like to, if possible, use gcc-select to choose between Apple's gcc3.3 and FSFs gcc3.4. Has anyone else done this? I've not researched how I would approach doing this yet (this posting is part of that research <smile>). Will do. I won't be making any Cocoa / Carbon calls ... at least not at this stage. Perhaps when Tiger comes out, it will sport a super-cool Apple version of gcc3.4. Of course, by that time, our team leader slash compiler jockey slash FSF-just-released-a-new-version-of-gcc-3-minutes-ago-why-the-hell- aren't-you-using-it-yet? will demand that we all use gcc4.0.x.y.z :-) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
