No, no, no. You misunderstand. PGCC completely overwrites all of the gcc
2.7.2.1 stuff with its own files.
After installing pgcc you will have a pentium optimizing version of egcs
installed, regardless of what you started with.
>Can I do the same with 2.8.0?
Theoretically yes. I haven't tried yet. I know that Robert changed around
the search paths to allow more than more compiler to exist simultaneously,
but I think the default paths still work so PGCC should still work. If
somebody tests this and wants to let me know I would appreciate it. But,
there is no need to install gcc 2.8 over a pgcc install, and then try to
install pgcc again.
>Should I install 2.8.0 then PGCC?
Not if you already have pgcc installed.
> Do I keep the 2.8.0 GCC by doing this?
Partially, since it puts itself in other directories it wouldn't be fully
overridden. It wouldn't really work though I think. I may change pgcc to
install alongside gcc 2.8 in the future.
>(Do I have 2.8.0's advantages and stuff?)
All releases of PGCC (even the first snapshot from almost a year ago) have
had everything that gcc 2.8 supports (granted some things were broken off
and on). So, pgcc 1.0.1 already has exception handling and the other c++
support.
