Well, that was a quick test :-) Here's the relevant snippet from the configure output: checking for the correct version of the gmp/mpfr/mpc libraries... yes checking for version 0.10 of ISL... no checking for version 0.11 of ISL... no The following languages will be built: c,c++,lto So, it's pulled in C support automagically. It looks like it's pretty safe to assume, then, that distros will continue to make their g++ packages dependent on the gcc package. The results of this test mean that we could save our users 2 keystrokes by omitting the 'c,' from the --enable-languages line :-) Regards, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
