| Gentoo GCC 3.4 for x86 marked "stable" |
Dec. 03, 2005
The Gentoo Linux project reported Friday that Gentoo GCC 3.4 has been marked stable on x86 machines. Since Gentoo is largely "from source" distribution, a new compiler release has significance to all Gentoo users, not just developers.
"No users will have their compiler automatically switched to gcc-3.4 after it is installed, so you can handle the migration to using it as your system compiler when you have time," project member Mark Loeser wrote on the Gentoo site.
To assist Gentoo users in the upgrade, the project has put together a GCC migration guide, available here.
For support issues, #gentoo on IRC (Internet relay chat) is the place to receive help, Loeser said.
Bugs found in the course of this upgrade should be filed under the "Gentoo Linux" product, and "GCC Porting" component on Gentoo's Bugzilla, he added. More information on the distro can be found here.
