#7174: Decimal Floating Point support ---------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: fano | Owner: nobody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: System/POSIX | Version: R1/alpha2 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: ---------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by fano): I've tried to recompile gcc in the Haiku svn tree adding at configure --enable-decimal-float=true and I've done make... after a lot of checking I obtain: {{{ checking if compiler knows _Decimal64... configure: error: Compiler doesn't know _Decimal64; try GCC >= 4.2, configured with --enable-decimal- float make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-mpfr] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/boot/home/Desktop/HAIKUsrc/haiku/haiku/buildtools/gcc' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/boot/home/Desktop/HAIKUsrc/haiku/haiku/buildtools/gcc' make: *** [all] Error 2 }}} OK, the GCC that is compiling does not know _Decimal64, but it is for this I'm recompiling it! I do not understand to compile GCC with _Decimal64 sypport I've to use a gcc that knows of them? Probably I'm doing something wrong... it seems a case of deadlock! -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7174#comment:1> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
