GPC in an RPM

Sun, 6 Jul 1997 15:41:25 +0100 (WET DST)


Hello,

I finished the RPM (RedHat Linux distribution package) I mentioned
earlier. It can be downloaded from a new "redhat" subdirectory on
agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de

While I built it on my RedHat 4.2 distribution, it should work also for
other RPM based installations (Caldera, etc.)

I included all patches to GCC found in the gcc-2.7.2.1.src.rpm so it
should build on Linux/alpha and Linux/sparc as well, but I cannot verify
this.

As soon as we have gpc-2.1, it should probably be uploaded to the
redhat-contrib archive.

Okay, so now installation on Redhat is reduced to only a few mouseclicks.
Too bad you still need a keyboard to *use* it ;-)

to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead.  -- RFC1925.
