Has anyone succeeded in building G++ (1.34) on the NeXT computer? I know that the NeXT comes with Objective C, but would like to use GNU G++ also. Also, I would be interested in hearing about other GNU programs on the NeXT. Thanks in advance, Eric. *----------------------------------------------------------------------* | Eric Schneider, System Manager eric@wsu.edu or cs2.wsu.edu | | Washington State University "If it can't be done in COBOL, I | | Computer Science Department just tell them it can't be done. | | Pullman, WA 99164-1210 It saves a lot of time." -- unknown | *----------------------------------------------------------------------*

The version of NeXT that we have, 0.8, contains a bug such that G++
1.34 didn't compile. When 0.9 comes out I'll try it again. I believe
there are people at NeXT working on bringing up G++. In the meantime,
you might be able to get sun 3.x binaries to run directly on the NeXT,
though this won't help much if you don't have a Sun 3 running 3.5!

As much as I agree that being able to use G++ on the NeXT would be nice, I have the distinct feeling that it's not going to do anyone any good. To the best of my recollection, the way NextStep works is inherently bound to the way that Objective-C works; runtime binding comes to mind. Unless someone reworks the interfaces to the objects that NextStep provides so that G++ can access them, it's going to be pretty pointless. Of course, I could be dead wrong. This is all from memory; I haven't had a chance to play with a NeXT box yet.

I have an ObjC to C++ translation aid that may be of use to people who were using ObjC.

My mailer has failed to reach some people who want my translation aid. If those still want the "translator", send me an unambiguous mail path. One problem my mailer has is on paths with both '%' and '@' One or the other, please!
