The only way I know how to build it is to build binutils, and it's one of the few things in binutils that FreeBSD doesn't hack into pieces, so it works fine. I understand for gcc-2.7.2, they tossed it into the compiler package (where it clearly belonged). I don't know the legality of busting up the binutils code, so I could excerpt the c++filt stuff. I asked on the list about a year ago when I first found it, but got no straight answers. I am uneasy about that monstrous GPL license, I'm no lawyer and I don't want folks unhappy with me legally. I NEEDED c++filt for a beginning c++ class at the university. What a lifesaver! Anyone who codes in c++ is simply crazy not to have it. That is, of course, unless they never make a mistake ..... ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
