Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP Port of GCC-4.2.3
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is announcement of DJGPP port of GCC-4.2.3

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.


Warning: DJGPP port of binutils-2.16 or newer is required

=======================================
Build for current stable version of DJGPP (djdev203 patchlevel 2) is
available from:
   ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/
and mirror sites (see http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/getting.html)

README.gcc423 DJGPP specific readme file
   ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/README.gcc423
   (it is identical with file gnu/gcc-4.22/readme.DJGPP in archives
         gcc423b.zip and gcc423s.zip)

Binaries are built and tested mostly under Windows XP Pro (SP2)
========================================
Build for development version of DJGPP (CVS version of djdev204) is
available from
   ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/

ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/ada423b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gfor423b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gcc423b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gpp423b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/objc423b.zip

Binaries for djdev204 may not work with djdev203 (at least
C++ compiler).
Binaries for djdev203 may perhaps work also with djdev204 CVS
versions, but such use is not recommended.


Source RPMS needed for building Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler
=============================================================

I have tested RPMs under Fedora Core 8 (64-bit). Thanks Gordon
Schumacher for updates to specs file. So source RPMs should
hopefully be used in other RPM based Linux distributions like
Suse Linux. All should hopefully be OK also for 32-bit Linux

Cross-compiler SRPM:
   ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/rpms/djcross-gcc-4.2.3-14ap.src.rpm

Also SRPMs of cross-binutils and DJGPP development libraries are available:

   ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/rpms/djcross-binutils-2.17-5.src.rpm
   ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/rpms/djcrx-2.04pre-5.src.rpm

=========================================

See
   http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2
for more information about GCC-4.2.3 and about changes in comparison
with earlier versions

Also see file gnu/gcc-4.22/readme.DJGPP (from gcc423b.zip and
gcc423s.zip) or
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/gcc423.README for more
information about this port.

There is also my web page about DJGPP port of GCC

(I cannot promise however, that I'll update it very often ...)
