Needless to say, I'm no longer working on porting gcc. (Thanks again to
John Dunning...!)
You're welcome!
Still no word from Richard Stallman about whether he'll
include Atari ST support in the next official gcc release.
It wouldn't surprise me if they don't want to; in addition to fixing
everything that deals in pathnames, starting processes, assuming
knowledge of the format of text files etc, I work for Symbolics, and he
still hates us.
In any case,
since the gcc compiler will compile itself correctly on the ST, I don't
see any reason why g++ can't be ported over now...
Right. I've snarfed GCC 1.25 (that's the latest one for which there's a
companion G++) and am contemplating compiling it up this weekend to see
what happens. However, a problem I expect to run into is that I won't
have anything good to test it on when it gets running. For GCC I just
grabbed a bunch of random C programs from various archives, and tried
compiling them up, reasoning that if they ran, the compiler was probly
working ok. I don't know of a source of C++ code; anybody got anything
they'd like to submit for testing?
