I have made a spkg for GCC (GNU compiler collection) version 4.6.3 with compilers for C, C++ and Fortran. We don't always build GCC, by default only on systems where this is needed or which have an old GCC version.
The main motivation for this ticket was to make Sage work on OS X 10.7. But I think that having a GCC spkg is good for porting in general. It should also slightly increase Sage run-time performance for people with older compilers. The review of this package should not focus on OS X 10.7. To make reviewing this ticket more easy, I have made some testing releases, see the ticket #12369 for details. As far as I know, on every system on which sage-5.0.beta7 vanilla works, the testing release with GCC also works. So please review: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12369 Thanks, Jeroen. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
