Re: What is different about the way Apple builds GCC ?
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 I'm somewhat out of touch with the specifics of your issue (my first inclination would be to double check system vs compiler versions, not all combos work), but I thought I'd explain the theory; Apple GCC has a special build process because we want to support multiple architectures and fat^Wuniversal binaries. The "FSF way" only ever builds one compiler, while the "Apple way" builds n-squared compilers for n architectures, with appropriate hosts and targets, bootstrapping the native versions, and lipo-ing together the target libraries. The Apple way also takes care of some smaller issues, such as some pathname trickery. Stan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
