Hi, We recently received several NeXT machines at UCI. Since the cc (gcc) compiler is based on version 1.26 I'd like to install the latest release. Is there anything special that gcc requires to compile on the NeXT machine, or will the 68k files work ok? thanks, Doug

I was asking after the same info. Here's what we've heard so far (refilled for readability): Date: Tue, 24 Jan 89 22:33:18 PST From: Steve_Stone@NEXT.COM To: jon@BITSY.MIT.EDU Subject: re: [jon@BITSY.MIT.EDU: Re: kerberos (and more) on the Cc: Peter_King@NEXT.COM The absence of a pointer to GNU sources for gcc and emacs was unintentionally left out of the 0.8 release. It will accompany 0.9. The sources will be available via an optical disk. We haven't put the policy together yet, but it should be just the cost of media. Our config file is identical to the Sun with the following exceptions: CPP_PREDEFINES = "-Dmc68000 -DNeXT -Dunix -D__MACH__" CPLUSPLUS is defined (only effects cpp). DOLLARS_IN_IDENTIFIES is defined. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Our 0.9 release will be out soon. I'd at least wait until then to order sources. Steve Stone I haven't tried using this yet, though. Also, note that NeXT has made some other changes, notably a #pragma that can be used to turn off or on) optimization, to be used for functions where the compiler dumps core. (They have no effect if optimization was not specified on the command line, however.) As I said, I haven't tried it; please let me know how it works, maybe I'll build it here. (I'm not one of the avid NeXT hackers, and probably won't be until I understand the interface-building frob and Objective C better.) -- Ken Raeburn MIT Project Athena
