4425.0. "GNU...RSN" by DWOMV2::CAMPBELL (Delaware Amigan) Fri Jan 11 1991 01:04

Thought this might be of interest.  Do we really need SVR4?

Since you were going to ask....
 
[Note: The GNU ld linker is also ported and produces Amiga executables
 from unix style object files.]

>Where is this port of GCC available?
 
By ftp from nic.funet.fi, look in the directory pub/amiga/gnu/gcc/port
for several subdirectories containing different ports. Output from ls
-lgR included below. Unless you have Manx C available you currently
will want the Burr-Rushing-Pigg port (BuRP for short :-) which you can
now use with the PDC libraries.
 
  NOTE1: None of the ports are what we consider release versions for
         Amiga GCC. The BuRP and Wild ports are pretty stable, but
         lacking in some areas. (Don't look for a debugger -- yet)
 
  NOTE2: As you can see from the listing below, the files you need to
         use a port are rather large. Please do not use mail-servers to
         retrieve the stuff unless you need this desperately and can't
         get anyone with ftp access to fetch it for you. When the port
         is finished (later this year), it will released to several
         places, including the fish disks. Full source is of course
         available.
 
>How does it compare to the >commercial compilers such as SAS/C?
 
You mean how SAS/C compares to GCC? Well, SAS/C is more adapted to the
Amiga, it is smaller (the compiler, not the output). On the other hand
most larger projects from the unix world can not be compiled by SAS/C.
To do anything real with GCC you will need at least 2.5Mb RAM and a
harddisk.
  Projects underway by the members of the porting group include Kyoto
Common Lisp (full version), G++, GDB, X11R4 (will take time) and surely
others as well.
