Hi all -
I know someone else mentioned this briefly WRT to Tumbleweed, but I'd like to bring up for discussion the adoption of gcc 4.6 for Factory.
<snipped a lot of good stuff about why a kernel compile with gcc 4.6 is a good thing>
Jeff,
I don't have factory running anywhere, but I thought gcc 4.6 was in factory now, but not as default.
You have to invoke it as gcc46 was my understanding.
Would updating the specfile to use gcc46 instead of gcc be feasible until the default gcc is updated?
Greg You can add a gcc46 repository by : a) In project repositories: add repositories -> pick one via advanced interface -> devel:gcc:gcc46/openSUSE_Factory. b) osc meta prj -e <nameofproect> -> add the following : <repository name="gcc46_openSUSE_Factory"> <path project="devel:gcc:gcc46" repository="openSUSE_Factory"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> <arch>i586</arch> </repository> I've had one in my home ever since I saw it in KDF last year and also added one to multimedia:apps/libs, it's a good way of fixing problems before they become problems. Most failures need a "#include <something from glibc>" added.
