We are going to be moving our development effort to an RS/6000 in the next few
weeks and I was wondering if any of the GNU software had been successfully
ported to AIX?
Specifically - has anyone ported (or know of a port) for the following?
gcc - v1.39
gdb - v3.5
emacs - v18.56+
rcs - v5.5
Does the RS/6000's AIX come with a debugger other than sdb?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
