Is there somebody somewhere who has GNU stuff ported to the
tahoe (preferably SysV)? I'm specialy interested in the gcc, g++, gdb suite.
My other problem is that I'm not connected to the Internet so the source I'm
looking for should be willing to send the stuff (or let me take it somehow)
through the Bitnet.
Would appreciate any answers, just to know if my plight is feasible at all.
Thanks. (blumzi@math.tau.ac.il or blumzi@taurus.bitnet)bowen@cs.Buffalo.EDU (Devon E Bowen) (08/07/89)

I'm specialy interested in the gcc, g++, gdb suite. This keeps getting asked, so I'll post the answer. Yes, gcc has been ported to the tahoe by our department. We currently have it running under BSD. It has also been modified to run under HCX/UX by Piet Van Oostrum (cs.ruu.nl! piet). The BSD config files have been sent to the Free Software Foundation for release with gcc and the copyrights have been turned over to them so they can be issued under their copyleft. Due to some paperwork problems (in our legal department - fun wow), we were unable to get the copyright info settled before the 1.35 release, but all is clear now and we are waiting for the 1.36 release. The BSD files will be issued with gcc 1.36 - they have already been built into the FSF source tree. As to when that will be, I don't know. We've been beta testing a version that I have been told is very close to 1.36, but that is for them to say, not me. Sorry to all those people waiting (I have received a lot of mail about this), but since the copyrights are no longer owned by me, I cannot release it. If you'd like to do something else to try to get the files, I suggest writing to Richard Stallman at rms@ai.mit.edu. As for the other programs in the suite, we do have gdb and gas in the queue, but it keeps getting bumped back due to the work they actually pay us to do. We have no plans to do g++. So that about sums up all the gnu-tahoe work I know about. I have heard rumors of work being done elsewhere (Stanford was it?), but I haven't been able to get any real information about it. Devon

It will only slow the release (in this case, gcc 1.36). We at the GNU Project do the best we can to get software done well, quickly. Mail asking for it (and there is an incredible amount) just wastes our time and slows things down. Your patience is a significant contribution to the project. Note that the project's inquiry address is: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu |As for the other programs in the suite, we do have gdb and gas in the queue, |but it keeps getting bumped back due to the work they actually pay us to do. |We have no plans to do g++. | |Devon Granted ports of gcc, gdb, and gld, porting the g++ system isn't that hard. enjoy -len
