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? I need this for an older program which doesn't compile with gcc 4.x.
FIX YOUR CODE.
Fix your tone.
The tone was right (delicious!), but maybe the loudness was not tuned to innocent people's ears. But it was tuned to the theme.
FIX YOUR ERRORS, or at least SHOW THEM IN DETAIL...
Many vendors e.g. oracle require apps to be rebuilt or relinked in place, and the build fails due to compiler changes - so telling the poor DBA to "FIX YOUR ERRORS" is most unhelpful I'm afraid - so this is an unacceptable answer for most real world scenarios.
Yes, such cases may happen, and they already have happened. You remember gcc-old in SLES? You remember openmotif-libs-<something-very-old>? So, next step is: FIX YOUR ERRORS, or at least SHOW THEM IN DETAIL... "I need this for an older program" is not enough. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
