Hello, DJ. You wrote 18 мая 2014 г., 23:55:28: DD> so yeah, it's probably what people want.

And it contradicts to building separate packages too, because you could not build and install half of a package ("make all-host install-host"), build other package (runtime) and build & install second part of a package ("make all install"), it is completely insane. Or you should break gcc package into two but, again, it is impossible in most packaging systems to do "make all install" from SAME directory you did "make all-host install-host" for other package! So, it will be one package. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <l...@serebryakov.spb.ru> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
