Per,

Depending on which system I use, it could take several days at least.  The
image I have at Marist College is running on VM, and is capped very low so
as not to interfere with production work.  It took me most of one day to
build Openssl 0.9.6g.

Hi Mark,

I tend to agree with you, but I have also seen how much SAPDB relies on the
size of a bool being 1 byte. I also have a problem with disk space for
building
gcc 3.1, but other than that, well - if gcc31 will make SAPDB compile on
Linux/390, then I'll take it. Note - you can have concurrent installs of
a mix of gcc versions - and only use gcc31 for SAPDB. As for using a
"relatively
new" compiler for SAPDB only - I can live with it :-)

Now let's see where I've got some DASD hidden away ...


regards,
Per Jessen, Zurich
PS: would it really take 1 week to build gcc 3.1 for you ? I've built gcc
2.95.x
on old 486 machines - still only took about 12 hours (I think - definitely
less
than 24)
