jlc Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Just did an update on my rawhide box and it looks to be upgrading a lot of packages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Let us (or certainly me :) ) know how it goes, and if theres any noticeable improvement in speed/reduction in binary size. I'm getting a little bored with gentoo and a good gcc4 FC4 could tempt me away. Plus OS X 10.4 is using gcc4.... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 GCC 4.0 is available in Gentoo since February AFAIK but I don't know how stable it is ..... I'd like to know how it works for you. Maybe I'll also take the plunge ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Yep, Gentoo added it in Feb. Fedora Core 3 had it in November. And fc4 should be released built against it, since the rawhide tree is being pushed against it. I don't know much about Mac, are they using everything compiled against it or just as an option like it was in fc3 to be able to use it. I'm running rawhide on a dual p3 833 and it does "seem" very peppy now. Kind of like when I moved from fc2(gcc-3.3) to fc3(3.4) was a notice and now 4.0 seems to be doing the samething as far as faster code and just the "feel" of it.

jlc Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Box is still running great, it certianly feels snappier, its also running gnome 2.9.91 4.0 is the only thing on here as far as compilers go.

Qchem Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 GCC 4.0 is available in Gentoo since February AFAIK Theres a ebuild in bugzilla, but theres nothing in portage - I'm not willing to mess about with that on a laptop I need for everyday work. I don't know much about Mac, are they using everything compiled against it or just as an option like it was in fc3 to be able to use it. AFAIK (I'm not a paid up mac developer so I don't have the preview release) everything is compiled against it, sounds like it could be a good upgrade even if I am loathed to pay for an OS these days.
