JD> Jaguar is using gcc 3.1, does anyone know if that version of gcc supports JD> AltiVec specific optimizations? If so, are Fink packages built for these JD> G4-only extensions?

One of the features JD> I've found pretty slick is tha they have an /etc/make.conf file which allows JD> you to specify certain C/C++ flags for _every_ package that compiles on your JD> particular system. Does Fink have something similar? If not, could it? I'd JD> love to be able to build packages that are optimized for my system. JD> JD> Thanks!
AS> No, although I want to know why Apple GCC doesn't just specify AS> "-mcpu=750 -mmultiple -mpowerpc-gfxopt" by default; any computer AS> running OSX can handle it. AS> AS> "-faltivec" doesn't actually automatically AltiVec-ize code, however. AS> It just turns on support for it. AS> -- AS> Alexander Strange Is it possible to have at least Fink use it? Perhaps something similar with an /sw/etc/make.conf file that contains the user's preferred gcc flags? -- JD ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
