#10014: bring back setgcc in PM ----------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: kallisti5 | Owner: bonefish Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1/beta1 Component: Build System | Version: R1/Package Management Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by zooey): Replying to [ticket:10014 kallisti5]: > setgcc was a great way to adjust your compiler in the non-PM branches. Well, it was a rather crude way to adjust the compiler, it has never been great, really: it changed on disk structures to switch the compiler, which means that you couldn't use setgcc in one shell while already having a build running in another. On PM-Haiku, you should be able to activate a specific compiler by adding its path to the 'PATH' environment variable. This could be done by a script named 'setgcc', of course ... patches welcome ;-) > The new PM builds use an odd naming convention for gcc: > gcc2h----- > gcc - gcc 2 > gcc_x86 - gcc 4 > > gcc4h----- > gcc - gcc 4 > gcc_x86_gcc2 - gcc 2 Hm, what's add about that? The primary compiler uses the short name and any secondary compiler is suffixed by its target Haiku architecture. What other naming scheme do you suggest? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/10014#comment:1> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
