The following reply was made to PR ports/68464; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Ian D. Leroux" <ian_leroux@fastmail.fm> To: Volker Stolz <vs@freebsd.org> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ports/68464: devel/prcs update request Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2004 21:23:38 -0400 From the NEWS file of the original source distribution ** Changes since version 1.3.1 * Make it work with gcc-3.2. I'm sorry if this doesn't compile with * earlier compilers. I conclude that gcc-2 is explicitly un-supported. Looking at the patches that were used to get previous versions to compile under gcc-3, there are a bunch of changes having to do with handling of streams. I might be able to back-port it, but this seems like a lot of work for little gain: I'd mostly just be undoing the source cleanup effort by the original author (there are no bug-fixes or functionality changes listed in NEWS). It might be simpler to postpone the upgrade until most users are on gcc-3 equipped systems. Regards, Ian
