i wanted to have GCC 4.x based DragonFly system (for a C++ project) and "Trevor Kendall" advised this:
------------ If you are using 1.8.x: In /etc/make.conf uncomment WANT_GCC41=yes and rebuild. If you are using HEAD, it is built automatically already. To use it set CCVER to gcc41. -------------- but "Matt" said "please do NOT use HEAD". so i used "LATEST preview release" which was GCC 3.4 based. In "/etc/mk.conf" i added a line "WANT_GCC41=yes" but i do not know how to rebuild ? i tried Google and got this: # make buildworld # make buildkernel when i try this i get this message: "do not know how to build world". funny message, i thought. so i have these questions: 1.) Is it a good idea to use DragonFly preview release as my general-purpose OS. actually, i want learn UNIX and i want GCC 4.x to work on a C++ project. i just use a Window Manager, xine-ui, firefox, emacs, bash, gimp, audacious or xmms and nothing else. i don't use Desktops. 2.) how to rebuild the preview release for gcc4.x and how long this process will be ? 3.) is it necessary to do this before rebuilding world: cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot co pkgsrc even after 4 hours, it is still downloading packages :-(. is it downloading the source code of every package ? 4.) DragonFlyBSd guide also advises to use "cvs up" after step 3. what is it and how much time will that take ? 5.) can you please provide a list of commands for rebuilding with GCC 4.1 as i re-partitioned my disk and reinstalled Arch GNU OS (a.k.a Linux) just to send this email. this i the only machine i have, my home PC. thanks in advance :-) -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/
