Well, technically, compiling a current package isn't off-topic for BLFS, but finding someone who recognises the errors might be harder :) > > so my question is, what should i care for, if i want to compile (and > install) further compilers? currently i'm using gcc 3.4.3 (like in lfs > 6.1) and i want to install gcc 3.3.6 and gcc 4.0.1 additionaly. > > thanks in advance > > smoe > > (i'm using lfs 6.1, some things from blfs 6.0) > Last time I looked, BLFS had gcc-3.3.4. 3.3.6 should be similar enough (just remember to change the hard-coded version numbers in the directory names). BLFS installs this into /opt/gcc-3.3.6. The one thing you have to remember is to keep the compilers in different places - people have reported successful installs of multiple compilers in /usr in the past, but they had to hack them to use version strings (so, if you need to ask about multiple compilers, keep them separate from each other.) For newer versions of gcc, such as 4.0.1, your best bet is probably to pick yet another prefix (/opt/newtools or /usr/local, or whatever) then repeat the first two steps of LFS itself - put $PREFIX/bin at the front of your PATH, build a suitable binutils (2.16 FSF, I guess) and use that for gcc. If I felt paranoid about toolchain versions, I'd install gcc-3.3.6 into /opt/oldtools after first installing a 2.14-series binutils there (2.14.90.0.8 if you prefer hjl). For me, the binutils in LFS-6.1 was good enough for gcc-3.3.6 on i686, but then I only use it for binaries. Pre-installing tcl, (tk if you want it), dejagnu, expect will allow you to run the testsuites for binutils and gcc. But really, you ought to be reading blfs-svn (the development book) - it's heading for a 6.1 release, and works well with LFS-6.1.
