Although we understand your frustration we do not sympathyse becasue we've all had to learn it.
No it's not a checkbox it's a complie time option; and should be passed when you compile your code. like "ls -alh" GCC only looks difficult because you are new and have not used many other compilers; you will find and grow to love it if you use gentoo for a while; it's the most portable, widely used and cheapest compiler out there, we are lucky the GNU exists, othewise you'd have a crappy compiler from IBM to deal with. Also it doesn't come with an IDE, but Bluefish works mighty fine for me. Some light reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler You'll soon realize why every gentoo installation is as unique as the person running it. If you have not read this already: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml Start there, if you are confused or have questions, ask nicely. Please check the ego and attitude elsewhere. Regards, Hazen.
