[haiku-development] Re: GCC2 and GCC4 on same System

Conclusion: there is no problem with using GCC2 and GCC4 compiled applications on the same system at the same time. You simply have to provide the libraries and add-ons for both versions. I have successfully tested all the GUI apps, the only thing that obviously does not work is using ProcessController, NetworkStatus and PowerStatus in replicant mode in the Deskbar, as the GCC2 compiled Deskbar cannot load the GCC4 binaries. 

Just as a heads up on that topic
Wow. This is a topic that is definitely over my head, technically, but if I understand it correctly, this would beg another question: does this mean that we could compile a system that is primarily GCC4 and still will run things like Productive, BeIDE, etc. ?
