Right now we have --enable-languages=c,c++ in the configure line. I was just suggesting that we add a comment in the command explanations: --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix: Configures GCC to build the C and C++ compilers and enable the related C++ options. Adding: "In addition to c and c++, you can add f77 for FORTRAN and objc for Objective C. Ada is a more complicated installation and not supported in BLFS." -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
