[comp.unix.ultrix] gcc on Ultrix 4.0 VAX

barrett@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU (Dan Barrett) (12/01/90)

	Does anybody have gcc running on a VAX under Ultrix 4.0?  We are
thinking about upgrading our VAX 8530's OS to 4.0, but I *need* gcc to
work on this machine.

	Thanks.

                                                        Dan

It worked fine for me when I was running 4.0.  For that matter, it still works
fine while running 4.1.  I did choose to modify a .h file or two, however.  I
don't really remember all the details any more, but the types.h file for gcc
seems to be one that I changed.  I seem to remember having a problem with the
distributed (ULTRIX) stdio.h file as well.  Anyway, just try it and fix up any
(minor) .h file problems.

No warranties here, but I'm still using gcc on a VAX running ULTRIX.

As I recall, renaming the gcc-supplied stddef.h to something else and
compiling was all that was necessary...  Gcc stddef.h, and ultrix seem
to have some things declared differently, I opted to go with the Ultrix
definitions...
