Re: Using MPC Library with GCC

From: "Allan McRae" I have noticed that mpc is not automatically detected even when installed in the standard library path (with gcc-4.5-20090604). This means that building with mpc always requires using the --with-mpc-lib=/usr/lib flag. This is fixed by adjusting configure{.ac} to have: m

Thanks Kaveh for taking care of this. The Fortran front-end will really benefit from the use of MPC. Regarding your options, #1 seems the most reasonable to me; I'm forwarding to the Fortran list to hear to opinion of Fortran maintainers. FX

From: "Mark Mitchell" That is not a decision, however, on whether using MPC is or is not a good idea. There have been objections raised to MPC, on the grounds that it may not build on all host systems, or that the costs it brings in terms of complexity of building GCC outweigh its benefits. W

2009-04-27 Thread Mark Mitchell
At Kaveh's request, the SC has considered whether or not GCC can rely upon the MPC library. As Kaveh knows (as an SC member) the SC has reviewed this decision and does not feel that the SC or the FSF need to explicitly permit the use of a library whose license is compatible with GPLv3, even if the
