Optimized gcc 3.2.2 compiler...

2003-03-01 Thread Jerry McBride
I'm tinkering around with building an optimized gcc 3.2.2 compiler and have come up with what I suspect is good for my old k6-2 laptop. Would any of the gcc builders here have a look at what I'm doing and possibly make recommendations where I've over looked anything? gcc-3.2.2/configure

Neat package manager...

I just stumbled across this package manager named ENCAP. The URL is at the end of this text. Basically it arranges packages in a manner different than I've seen before. Each package resides in its' own directory. All packages are at the end of /usr/local/encap/ and all required package resources
