Hi Peter, > In Debian there were/are gcc-4.2 .. gcc-4.9, gcc-5 .. gcc-7. > And what about beauties like 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-7'? > Why not ditch the 'gcc* --version' invocations and have people use > 'CC=fancy-named-gcc' on the command line if needed?
That should already work (after fixing the version regex). The build system will call "$(CC) -dumpversion" and symlink that to ./staging_dir/host/bin/gcc if passing the check, so the extra "gcc-7" patch hunk should not be needed if you're fine with invoking the buildroot using "CC=gcc-7 make ...". I'm fine with removing the version checks entirely if we find an alternative to check for GCC > 4.8 - maybe a feature test of some sort? ~ Jo _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
