You can compile FreeBSD because it's written in C. GCC just happens to be the tool that comes in the package (which is a shame, IMHO; it's not a very good compiler). >Any of you ever tried to write a compiler ? Yes -- for a living. But I've moved on to other pursuits, because GCC has sufficiently destroyed the market that it is not possible to make a living writing compilers. Quality doesn't matter; a mediocre GPLed product precludes the release of good commercial ones. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
