site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com Hi folks, - Is gcc-1765 really a good base? What would be a good/better base? - - Where could I get that? - Any other recommendations? Thanks, Marcel _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I am trying to create a new gcc frontend, preferably using my OS X box and Apple's supplied gcc as the foundation, but having some difficulties. I first tried getting the "current" gcc from savannah, but that didn't want to compile at all with the gcc4.0 I have on my machine. The errors didn't look like I would be able to overcome them easily. I then tried the gcc-1765 package. That compiled with a bit of tweaking, though the resulting compilers weren't usable. Leaving that "minor" issue for later, I pressed ahead. However, this gcc seems to be quite different from the baseline gcc, as far as I can tell. It took quite a bit of work to get the FLIM sample front-end ( http://people.csa.iisc.ernet.in/sreejith/frontends/flim/ ) to compile. Creating a custom front-end based on that, but including the C/Objective-C base required all sorts of symbols to be defined not mentioned anywhere in the documentation. I finally got that to compile/link after by providing stubs for the various required and am now in the process of providing actual code so it actually runs. However, before I go any further with this, I would like to ask wether I am moving in the right direction. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
