Hello All, Imagine that someone (e.g. a distribution packager) wants to have several versions of gccjit like he does have several versions of gcc. Concretely, GCC 5.2 with GCC 6.1
I would believe that the --program-suffix argument of ..../configure would be useful. So he/she would compile GCC 5.2 with a --program-suffix=-5 argument to configure, and would like the gcc compiler to go in /usr/local/bin/gcc-5 and the GCCJIT library to go in /usr/local/lib/libgccjit-5.so, so users of GCCJIT 5.1 would link with -lgccjit-5 And he/she would also compiile GCC 6.1 with a --program-suffix=-6 argument to configure and would like the gcc compiler to go in /usr/local/bin/gcc-6 and the GCCJIT library to go in /usr/local/lib/libgccjit-6.so so users ofg GCCJIT 6.1 woudl link with -lgccjit-6 Having two different GCCJIT libraries is IMHO a legitimate wish (likewise, one can easily have several versions of LLVM libraries on Debian). AFAIU, the --program-suffix is not yet understood by GCCJIT configuration things. This is a wish, since I don't know autoconf well enough to be able to propose any patch. Or perhaps there is some existing configure switch already related to location of libgccjit? Regards. -- Basile Starynkevitch http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ France
