Subject:	ANNOUNCE: gcc-3.0.2 for DJGPP updated
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is an announcement of updated DJGPP port of gcc-3.0.2

GCC used to stand for the GNU C Compiler, but since the compiler 
supports several other languages aside from C, it now stands for 
the GNU Compiler Collection.

GCC 3.0.x has several new optimizations, new targets, new languages 
and many other new features, relative to GCC 2.95.x. See the new 
features page for a more complete list.

Main change since first release of DJGPP port of gcc-3.0.2:

	I inluded fix for -fomit-frame-pointer problems. So now one should 
	be able to build Allegro with this update of gcc-3.0.2 for DJGPP

See http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/ for more information about gcc-3.0.2

Currently C, C++, Fortran and Objective C compilers are supported
for DJGPP. Java compiler is not ported and is not included

Also libg++ is no more included and will not be included in future.

Archives are available from DJGPP distribution in Simtelnet 
(and mirror sites) in directory v2gnu:
        http://www.simtel.net/pub/djgpp/v2gnu/

There are 6 archives:
   readme-gcc-3.0.2.txt - readme file from DJGPP port of GCC-3.0.2. It's in
                  separate file to avoid need to download large archives
                  to get this file.
   gcc302s.zip  - sources of gcc-3.0.2. I put all sources in a single 
                  archive. This file is only needed if You're want to 
                  rebuild gcc-3.0.2 from sources.
   gcc302b.zip  - binaries of C compiler
   gpp302b.zip  - binaries of C++ compiler (needs gcc302b.zip)
   g77302b.zip  - binaries of Fortran compiler (needs gcc302b.zip)
   objc302b.zip - binaries of Objective C compiler (needs gcc302b.zip)
   gcc302s2.zip - shell script and patches for original gcc-3.0.2.
                  I used them to generate gcc-3.0.2 sources for DJGPP 
                  (gcc2953s.zip). 

Files user need:
   Programming languages  Needed files 
   C                      gcc302b.zip
   C++                    gcc302b.zip, gpp302b.zip
   Fortran                gcc302b.zip, g77302b.zip
   Objective-C            gcc302b.zip, objc302b.zip

NOTE: gcc302b.zip contains file cxxfilt.exe and there is file with same name in
      binutils (bnu2112b.zip). You can safely overwrite the old one. 


For more information about this port see archive
   gnu/gcc-3.02/readme.DJGPP
after unpacking either gcc302b.zip or gcc302s.zip or get file 
readme-gcc-3.0.2.txt from directory v2gnu in DJGPP distribution 

Also please DON'T mix C++ libraries (or object files) built with 
different compiler versions. C++ sources should be recompiled (seems 
that there is no need to do this for C sources). 


System requirements
===================

DJGPP-2.03 or above (otherwise exceptions will not work at all)

binutils-2.11.2 or above. It's no more possible to use binutils-2.8.1 
  or 2.9.1. Command line option -mno-bnu210 is no more supported.

Some warning for users of C++. C++ compiler in gcc-3.0.2 does more strict
syntax checking than gcc and egcs versions older than gcc-3.0. As result 
errors are generated in many places where earlier one got warnings. 


Happy hacking
