gcc 2.95 for intel

Does anyone have a package including gcc 2.95.3 binaries for intel ?

I know that the one for NeXT hardware already exists.

If one has the source for 2.95, it is pretty simple to build. It requires only a tiny patch, as detailed here. http://www.savarese.org/patches/gcc.html

An upcoming project of mine is to build it for sparc/openstep.

//cs

Thanks for the link, i'm gonna give a try a soon as possible.

by the way, does anybody have the header file named:

gthr-mach.h
?

Does anyone know if these instructions work for OpenStep? ./configure as described in the instructions completed. I applied the patch to GCC 2.95 and it's erroring out with this:

For anyone else working on this, verdraith found this hack (https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-bugs/1999-11n/msg00102.html):

NeXT Cube running Openstep 4.2.
gmake CFLAGS='-O2' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2
-fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap

In spite of being gcc 2.7+, the NeXT 4.2 compiler doesn't support 
__attribute__ fully. This patch just sets MINOR to 8 to eliminate the 
problem.

That gets me a little further, but now it's erroring out with

in gcc/Makefile, s-check is

touch s-check
when I run gcc/gencheck manually, it gives no output, which doesn't seem right.

Googling hasn't produced anything, so now I'm stuck.

I have a series of patches for gcc memorialized here:

https://github.com/rjbrown99/next

The wiki page has compilation instructions as well. Cheers.

I did some messing around with slightly more recent gcc versions a long time ago here:

Perhaps it could be of some help.
