Hi everyone,
I need, for some tests with threads, to rebuild gcc 3.1 (or newer), on WinNT 4.0 workstation with Interix 3.0.
What configure options or make options should I use to have a successful build ??
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I' m sort of curious: why not use the gcc 3.3 binary in the /tools warehouse?

Hi Rodney,
I will use the gcc 3.3 binary to build the other release of gcc.
First, gcc 3.3 is a Beta...
Secondly, I need to rebuild a gcc binary to enable it to use threads (if gcc has not been build with --enable-threads, it won' t be able to build binaries that will manage threads correctly).
Here are my reasons...
Cheers,
Thomas

I' ll clear up some confusion about the current gcc version being labeled " 3.3" . The current official release of gcc is labeled " 3.2" . But gcc is a moving target (by CVS) and the Interix gcc is a snapshot post-release of 3.2 with additional work. So calling it 3.2 isn' t right; calling it 3.3 is closest to right.
WRT threads: the flag " --enable-threads" won' t make a difference. Interix 3.0 does not support kernel pthreads at this time. The next major version release is suppposed to, but I don' t have any hint about a date/timeline. If you are going to use the GNU ' pth' package it still won' t matter because it is a user-space non-pre-emptive thread package.

Ok Rodney, I understand.
I know that the Pth package is non-preemptive.
I heard of FSU threads that should be preemptive user-threads package, and I would to try using them.
If you say that I don' t need to rebuild gcc, that' s fine.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Thomas
