I've successfully gotten gcc 1.37.91 off of wuarchive, and eventually gotten it up and running. (Thanks, John Coolidge!!). I need g++; I've not been so successful with it. Unlike gcc, the binaries with g++ a[pparently don't need recompilation to get installed and working properly -- I thought. But, I'm getting some rather nasty errors from g++ on my IIfx running A/UX 2.0. Has anyone else verified that g++ works well? In particular I'm trying to get InterViews up and running. Here's a couple of the hundreds of lines of error message's I'm getting: /usr/tmp/cca07307.s:711:"Unknown operator" -- Statement 'link.w %a6,&0' ignored /usr/tmp/cca07307.s:712:"Unknown operator" -- Statement 'movm.l &0x2030,-(%sp)' ignored /usr/tmp/cca07307.s:713:"Unknown operator" -- Statement 'mov.l 8(%fp),%a2' ignored Thanks, Greg Sorensen sorensen@athena.mit.edu

It does _not_ work well. When I released it, I mentioned that it was very unlikely to work correctly, but I didn't have anything better. The problem is that the version of g++ on wuarchive wants to use Apple's as, while gcc wants to use gas. Gcc finds the assembler by using gcc-as if exists, and otherwise calling as, so gcc-as exists. Unfortunately, g++ uses exactly the same algorithm --- thus the problem :-(. I'm hoping to get a better g++ out in the next few days. I'm not spending much time on compilers right now, but I do have a g++ that almost works, and it probably won't take that much time to get it out... --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
