halppp !! I'm new here so I don't know what's been said about gnu g++ so forgive me if i'm asking a old question. 1) Could someone out there tell me if one can bring up g++ on a 3b15 ??? 2) If so what other gnu packages are need before one can start. I already have the g++ files as distributed by uunet. ( contains nothing except the dist-g++ directory). 3) Is C++ available form AT&T for the 3b machines and the 386 machines. ( I assume that c++ is usually a front end for the C compiler that adding c++ is little more than porting the front end to a machine. Thanks, everyone. Please E-mail to me if possible as I don't always get to read all the nets I want to. James Ng jamesng@graf.poly.edu Internet. jamesng@polygraf BITNET.

You'll need >512Kb memory per process to recompile the pre-processor; this was quite a problem on our small 3B2/300 with just 2Mb of memory. The pre-processor is itself written in C++ so you'll need access to a 3B if you want to port it to another machine. As far as porting to the 386 is concerned, I think this can be done; the Release Notes give you some guidance in porting to different systems, pointing out where problems might be expected. Hope this helps,

The $100 price is for educational institutions. The price most of us will have to pay is closer to $2500 (at least last time I checked; probably the price has increased since then).

I just got my license agreement. You may have been thinking about the $100 setup fee for none UNIX(R) source licensees. Sincerely

You're quite right; the $100 fee is when you buy it from AT&T, have a source license and are an educational institution. There are times when it's actually an advantage to be an educational institution.... -- Eelco van Asperen. uucp: evas@eurtrx / mcvax!eurtrx!evas #include <inews/filler.h> earn/bitnet: asperen@hroeur5 #include <stdjunk.h> "We'ld like to know a little bit about you for our files" - Mrs.Robinson, Simon & Garfunkel
