* Sorry to bother you - No problem - * Gcc is conspicuous by it's absence from your "ported" lists. Is it not * portable to freebsd? Actually the opposite, gcc-2.6.3 is already in the main source tree, i.e., FreeBSD's /usr/bin/cc is gcc, so there is no reason to put another one in the ports tree. :) gcc-2.7.x is not imported yet, due to stability concerns, and it will come in as soon as we think it's stable enough. * If it isn't, then how did you get gnu f77 working? * I thought g77 relied on gcc as it's back end! Also, I noticed the text * associated with bcc - "can do 16-bit code". Is freebsd a 16-bit OS? No, it's a full 32-bit OS. I believe the thing about bcc is that you can use it to generate programs that can run on 16-bit OS's (like DOpeS) if you do something clever. Satoshi
