Today Red Hat announces the Beta availability for a new toolset that
will be offered to developers building C and C++ applications for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. This developer toolset - designed for Independent
Software Vendors (ISVs), software solution providers, systems
integrators, and enterprise software developers - makes developing Linux
applications faster and easier than ever before.
With this new developer toolset, developers can choose to take advantage
of the latest versions of the GNU development tool chain, packaged for
easy installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This version of the GNU
development tool chain is an alternative to the toolchain offered as
part of each Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Of course, developers can
continue to use the version of the toolchain provided in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
The developer toolset gives software developers the ability to develop
and compile an application once to run on multiple versions of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6). Compatible
with all supported versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the developer
toolset Beta is available for users who develop applications for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. Please see the release notes for support of
specific minor releases.
Using the developer toolset, software developers can now:
Develop Linux applications using the latest C and C++ upstream tools
including:
* The latest version of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC 4.7),
with support for C and C++.
* The latest version of the GNU Project Debugger (GDB 7.4) with
the latest improvements to aid the debugging of applications.
* The GNU binutils collection of binary developer tools, version 2.22,
for the creation and management of your Linux applications.
Develop applications that run on multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, such that applications developed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
using the developer toolset can run on both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
and 6.
The developer toolset Beta is available now on the Red Hat Network (RHN)
to all developers with an active Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription.
We encourage all Linux developers to download and evaluate the Beta. For
