Help for ppl with gcc3x
 

I got 0.3.9 to compile finally on my Mandrake 9.0 box and ill share how.

First of all Mandrake 9.0 comes w/ gcc 3.2, Knuong will tell you, and I can concur, its almost impossible to compile under 3.x.

I installed gcc2.96 rpm from my mandrake CD. Then the trtick was to tell it to use that isntead of 3.2

Chaning the make file to use gcc -V 2.96 DOES NOT WORK for some reason.

Under mandrake there is a feature (which is from debian) called update-alternatives

You can run this as root and you want to type it like this

update-alternatives --verbose --config gcc

It will ask you what version of gcc you want linked the the 'gcc' command basically. It gave me choice of 3.2 or 2.96. I chose 2.96 then went back and it compiled. Of course billions of warnings as but that is normal :) No errors and it does run.

Hope that helps!
