Hi. I'm trying to install gcc with cross-compiler support (why use a pc
when all I need to do is compile software for it?). 8)
Anyway, I was rooting through /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc and I noticed a
README that told me to steer clear and get the complete gcc sources and
use those for me to play with.
Let me stop right there and let you all know that I'm using 2.1-STABLE
with gcc 2.6.3. It's on a Gateway 2000 P5-75 (though for the question
at hand, I don't think that's really relivant).
Back to my story. Looking around the mit archives, I see a 2.5.8
tarball, and diffs for 2.6.0 to 2.6.3. The diffs for 2.5.8 to 2.6.0 say
that there were many changes and to just get the "latest" tarfile.
I would've just grabbed 2.7.2, but I remember reading somewhere that
FreeBSD hasn't jumped to that version yet because of a bunch of bugs and
other problems.
So, does anyone know where I can find a 2.6.3 tarball or at the very
least a 2.6.0 that I can then apply the patches onto.
Also, any pointers or tips on cross-compiling won't be turned away. 8)
