Hello everybody, I'am interested in object-oriented programming and currently working with AT&T C++ and Borland Turbo-C++. Now, I interested in porting g++ to the Amiga, because this seems to be much better than the existing Lattice C++. Before starting, I would like to know if somebody has already done this (or started with it). Greetings, Hans Dolfing (dolfing@cs.utwente.nl)

Having wrestled with version 1.37.2 quite a bit in the last months trying to implement several language extensions, I can tell you not to get your hopes up. g++ needs gcc to work which is about 4 MEGS of source code, g++ itself is made up of about 2.5 MEGS of source code. Even though there is a rumor of an upcoming release of a PD port of gcc this does not imply that a port of g++ will ever follow. As we all know just about everything is possible on an Amiga, but realistically one will have to wait till the relase of UNIX on the Amiga.
