Hi, Does gnu g++ require the libg++ package to be installed? My installation of gcc2.2 seems to behave this way, but it seems strange that the gcc documentation makes no references to this requirement. In addition, the groff documentation says that you don't need libg++ when running gcc2.x, only when running lesser versions. I would appreciate enlightenment on this topic! All opinions are my own.... --------- Edgar Nielsen edgar@ms.washington.edu Math Sciences Computing Center (206) 543-6466 University of Washington,Seattle 98195

No, but you're fairly crippled without it if your vendor does not provide ANSI C header files. >My installation of gcc2.2 seems to behave this way, but it seems strange that >the gcc documentation makes no references to this requirement. The gcc documentation describes the C compiler, with a few brief references to C++. But the compiler itself doesn't need the library, and back in the old days when libg++ was under the GPL, the InterViews people (among others) wrote replacement streams classes so you could avoid use of libg++ entirely (with the LGPL there's no longer much reason to do this, IMHO, since it permits object-only distribution of "works that use the library"). >In addition, >the groff documentation says that you don't need libg++ when running gcc2.x, >only when running lesser versions. I would appreciate enlightenment on this >topic! Beats me. I do think that it might be an improvement if certain headers required for any implementation by the ANSI C++ committee (things like wrappers for the standard headers required for any C++ implementation) were moved from the libg++ distribution to the gcc distribution. This would be easier to do once the Gnu C library is integrated more cleanly with libg++ (right now they fight with each other). -- Joe Buck jbuck@ohm.berkeley.edu

Does anyone have a machine readable form of GNU-Objective C manual ? (Or if it is available from somewhere?) If so, please send a copy to chanl@bali.AMD.COM Thanks for your help, Chan Lee
