- GCC installer- this is for gcc v2.95-3.4 for AOS3.
It's generally a _bad_ thing to try to compile with multiple versions of gcc, and 2.95 is pretty long in the tooth. So: a. Do we have a confirmed gcc/g++ version for: AOS3.X? AOS4/PPC? Links to either?
Apparently there is a 3.33 and a 3.4 version on geekgadgets, but it's stability is unknown. I couldn't even get to the GG site for some reason. GoldED includes an installer for 3.3.3 and Dietmar was looking to support 3.4
- Boost library- I haven't looked at this much, just their home page
briefly, but it looks like a C++ utility library for the most part. There may be some investigation needed with respect to using this in code going back to OOo ultimately. I'm also not sure if anyone's determined if this is going to buy us anything (although likely no idea yet).
It might be an idea to contact Stephen Solie who made the OS4 port and is a general C++ fanatic :-) He should be able to give a better insight.
