Re: [opensource-dev] Not actually OT: How do I get/update gcc to 4.6 on debian squeeze?

Hmm.. maybe change that build environment to something that is actually
compatibel to something that users might have? as in, not using compiler
versions / library versions that aren't available from official
repositories for the distribution in question (prebuilt libs excluded)?

Alternative: package the compiler toolchain as a prebuilt archive, d/l
and unpack into the source tree on build. preferrably as statically
linked stuff.

Another useful option would be to build and maintain a VM image with the 
complete tool chain installed. It would be great to have as a reference 
and would let people who wanted to cross-compile do it much easier, at 
an obvious cost of VM overhead.  Pity Windows and OSX compilers couldn't 
be VM-ized the same way.

Hi gang,

How do I upgrade gcc to 4.6 on debian squeeze?

And what else does need to be upgraded on debian squeeze to have the versions
that LL uses?


Sorry this has taken so long, but I got it done this morning

I've published the sources for our backport and the debian packages from 
it that we install on our build hosts:


https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Debian_GCC_Backport

and I put a pointer to that page in the Linux compilation instructions.

The wiki page about setting up a build environment on linux still talks about
gcc 4.3...


I would certainly welcome any improvements to that page anyone would 
like to make.  Alas, I don't have the time to do them myself.

gcc v4.6.3 ?... You might want to update to 4.6.4. There have been quite
a few bugs fixed in the latter, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&query_format=advanced&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=4.6.4
