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) --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."
