[comp.lang.c++] Problems making Gnu C++ from Gnu CC

tiemann@MCC.COM (Michael Tiemann) (04/23/88)

I am preparing a release of GNU C++ 1.20.0 to go with GNU CC version
1.20.  Please do not bother trying to merge various versions of GNU
C++ 1.18 and GNU CC 1.19--they were not made to go together.  GNU C++
1.20.0 has compiled the OOPS library (about 10,000 lines) and
InterViews (about 20,000 lines).  Both of these libraries require
minor changes to be successfully compiled.  The procedures are
outlined in the GNU C++ Users Guide, which is distributed with the GNU
C++ release.  The GDB+ debugger will also be version 2.5.0, which
supports attaching to processes, incrementally adding symbolic
information to accompany incrementally loaded object files, and
special hooks to run under GNU Emacs.

I will announce this release on Monday.  In the mean time, do not
woryy about 1.18.x.  It is not worth it.
