I'm not just talking about plain gcc2.7.2, I'm talking : about gcc2.7.2 with Cygnus's template repository patch for G++. The last : time I compiled it for BSDI, I looked at the source code patch, and : it was very dependent on the format of the output of the gnu linker : in binutils2.6. Since that hasn't changed (the patch), I can't see : how the template repository would now work. Without the template : repository patch, C++ with GCC is almost useless, as you can't really : use the standard template library without a declaring all template : instantiations explicity (very irritating, recompile 5-10 times looking : for more undefined symbols) i only built the plain gcc + g++ + libg++ this way - would be nice if you would try it with the repo patch and tell us if it works t -- thomas graichen graichen@mail.physik.fu-berlin.de graichen@FreeBSD.org perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away antoine de saint-exupery
