I noticed the sources and diffs for the ST version of GCC1.40 in the new gnustuff directory at A.A. (Thanks to Graham for the neat re-org!!) Before I go to the trouble to try and compile it, has someone else already got the ST version of GCC1.40 compiled up, and could they please post it to A.A?? Thanks to all, and again, public thanks to Graham Higgins for his work in getting the gnu directories on A.A in such nice shape!

The sources currently available on A.A. are only positioned for testing, not yet testED. Testing will require compilation. The only thing I've managed to compile so far are the main GNU libraries gnulib16/32 and iio16/32 and their gdb versions. ++ Before I go to the trouble to try and compile it, has someone else already ++ got the ST version of GCC1.40 compiled up, and could they please post it ++ to A.A?? I will post a set of 1.40 binaries which I got from a UK BBS. No, I haven't been able to cross-compile 1.40 yet, so I can't vouch for these binaries, except to say that I used them to compile the library sources on my ST.

After all the recent discussion about the forthcoming release of gcc 1.40 on the ST, I'd like to make an appeal to those who are actually doing the work: please, please, please make sure that it does NOT mangle filenames like versions up to 1.39 did. My biggest gripe with gcc is that it doesn't work happily on a Minix partition under MiNT; I know that there are other people who also use this type of setup who I'm sure would appreciate a 'clean' version. Perhaps it would be enough to use Eric Smith's MiNT library; I'm not familiar with the changes made to port the compiler to the ST. I am immensly grateful to those who have ported gcc; it's a superb compiler and I don't know how I'd get by without it. :-) -- /* 'Grave' Dave Gymer --------- Internet: dpg@Cs.Nott.AC.UK *\ +* 42 St Marys Park, Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11 0EF, England *+ +* Olivier's Law: "Experience is something you don't get *+ \*-------------------------- until just after you need it." */

Can't we get away from this UNIXMODE thing, a la Eric Smith's MiNT library? It does seem silly to have two diverging libraries when one would suffice. I do _not_ use your library (because I'm a MiNTer), so I don't have any info on UNIXMODE. The foward slashes are not a problem, it's the fact that all the names are truncated to fit 8.3 and converted to uppercase. These are fairly small gripes, but when they're so easily avoided, why do we need the extra hassle? Here's hoping for gcc 2.00... :-) -- /* 'Grave' Dave Gymer --------- Internet: dpg@Cs.Nott.AC.UK *\ +* 42 St Marys Park, Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11 0EF, England *+ +* Olivier's Law: "Experience is something you don't get *+ \*-------------------------- until just after you need it." */
