Hi there,
does anybody know of a compatibility package of gcc version 3.x for Suse 10.x ? I've looked into the opensuse repositories but only found a compat-g77 package. Is there something similar for the C compiler?
g77 and C/C++ support is a different story because gfortran is not yet fully complete in it's language support. Thus you sometimes still need g77 to compile fully standard conformant Fortran77 code. If your code is C or C++ and does not build with the most recent version (but did with older releases) it is most likely a bug in your code and not a problem of the compiler. If SUSE (or any other vendor) started to ship compilers for every variant of broken code floating around in the world they would end up shipping all versions of gcc ever released or even those that were never released.
I need this for an older program which doesn't compile with gcc 4.x.
So you either have to build a version yourself or better fix your code. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur."
