Thanks for the reply Axel. Very good response and hopefully it makes people
pushing for gcc4 happy. I am happy with it.
I will quickly re-state what you are saying.
Haiku R1 will be gcc2 this avoids adding an extra set of libraries to R2 (
leaving R2 with two sets of the same type of libraries instead of 3 sets ) -
breaking compatibility 1 time, with R2, instead of two times.
Devs should compile their apps with gcc2 unless gcc4 is actually required. In
that case.
Those that need gcc4 for their app should:
a) either cross compile their app on Linux with gcc4 toolchain or
b) use gcc4 toolchain on unofficial gcc4 Haiku
There should be no issues with running the gcc4 apps on gcc2 Haiku because the
OS can work with both gcc 2&4 apps.
Makes perfect sense. Gives a good solution to compiling apps with gcc4. I
only hope that someone creates the gcc4 toolchain to make it easier to do this
on Haiku.
