Why do you think you need such an old and unmaintained version of gcc?

To compile qemu 0.7.2 with kqemu kernel module :-) No, it doesn't compile with gcc4 and some people are saying it works great with gcc-3.2

You'd have to compile it yourself. Note that you should configure the gcc sources with something like --prefix=/opt/gcc3 and *not* the default /usr/local as you'll get into trouble with the gcc4.

Thanks for the tip. I will also try to make some RPMS and make a repository. Cheers, -- Damian Mihai Liviu Phone: +40741226993 URL: http://liviudm.blogspot.com

Well, fix it or get somebody else to fix it. Using an older compiler only papers over the bugs that are obviously present.

Then by all means try to become one or just ignore software that won't compile and see where you can get working binaries. If you don't understand the code, you also don't understand why the compiler rejects it. There are a number of examples where older versions of gcc silently produced wrong code or code that worked only by accident, whereas newer versions will detect the error and stop compilation.

but tomorrow I'll do some RPMs for gcc-3.2

Please don't make them available or only offer a C compiler. C++ code compiled with older versions of gcc is binary incompatible with gcc >= 3.4. Philipp

The first thing it broke on was that qemu assumed that the final instruction in a function in ELF code was ret (0xc3), which apparently isn't necessarily true anymore. The gods only know what else, but there seems to be patches floating around for it

There are even qemu RPMs on the SUSE Linux 10.0 DVD (and the FTP servers). Why don't you use just these? ;-) BTW: If it needed patches to compie, you will find them in the source RPM. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Widerstand ist zwecklos (wenn er kleiner als 1 Ohm ist).

There is no kqemu kernel module because it's not GPL

Is that because GPL and non-GPL are like software matter and anti-matter annihilating when they come into contact with each other, destroying your computer, you, your home or office and probably the entire state you live in (especially if it's Rhode Island)??

You didn't look at it, did you. The qemu source package includes gcc 3.3.5, and it first builds it, then uses it to compile qemu Like I said, there are patches floating around to make qemu work with gcc4, but they're not used in the 10.0 package
