GCC4/2 question

Forum thread started by moochris on Sun, 2010-08-08 11:25

Hi,

I'm more interested in running some of the SDL game ports than I am running old BeOS apps, so I've switched to running a GCC4 hybrid.

Simple question - if I download a GCC2 compiled program that you install by unzipping to /boot, is it going to put the libraries in the wrong place? There is a specific directory for the gcc2 libs to live in isn't there?

Thanks,
Chris

gcc2 compiled sw should work fine on a gcc4 hybrid Haiku nightly.

yes, the libraries would likely end up in the wrong place if they get extracted while unzipping to /boot.

You can extract to desktop. Then copy the libraries to proper gcc2 folder. Should go in /boot/common/lib/gcc2. Putting them in just lib folder may or may not work. I am not sure if Haiku checks for gcc2 library versions in there on gcc4 system.
