Meanwhile, maybe the SuSE guys will release the "official" YOU-version of gcc-3.3, so people can compile their own version of vanilla-kernels... Use the latest Beta version of fou4s and add the following line to /etc/fou4s.conf: Server=rsync://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/projects/gcc/%VERSION/
Then run fou4s -u to generate the descriptions. To see the packages that are going to be updated, use fou4s -e. Then run fou4s -i --end --nogpg to install the current gcc. Finito :-) You can also install the old gcc 2.95, which is more recommended for compiling kernels, from http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/8.1/suse/i586/gcc_o... It works at least for 8.1 and 8.2. To compile the kernel using the old GCC do export PATH=/opt/gcc295/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc295/lib Have a lot of fun ...
