[comp.sys.atari.st] Does a GNU C++ port for Atari ST exist?

VCD51661@DS0RUS54.BITNET (11/13/89)

Hi there,

If i remember correctly somebody on the net spoke of a GNU C++
compiler some months ago.

1.)  Does such a thing exist?
2.)  Is the source code available (as usual for GNU software)?
3.)  Does a port for the Atari ST exist?
4.)  Are commercial C++ compilers for the ST available?

Any hints?

I've recently gotten gcc v 1.36 for my 1040 ST.  Along with it I got
the following g++-readme.text file.  Hope it isn't too discouraging.
I do not have g++!

The file came from terminator.cc.umich.edu.  Before, I get flooded
with e-mail my gcc came from dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu.  That's all I know.

Cheers,

	Ralph

This is a very preliminary posting of G++ for the Atari ST.  It's known
to be buggy, but I figured I'd post it anyhow, as a lot of people have
asked for it.  

G++ needs LOTS of memory.  Don't bother trying it on less that a Mega 2;
for large programs you'll need a Mega 4.

Unpack all the Zoos, (there should be 4; g++-exec, g++lib, g++lib2, and
g++-gnulib).  All of these were packed in the \GNU\ directory, so
pathnames are relative to there.  Look for a GNU.G file; and look for
the extra env vars that G++ will expect to see.  Try building some of
the sample programs in the TEST directory.

Sorry about the brevity of the instructions; perhaps we'll do a better
job of documenting how to get started later.
