From Monday 13th November 2006 onwards,
it has been decided that the default compilers
that will be used to build binaries from source code packages will be
HP's ANSI C ("cc") and C++ ("aCC").
Prior to that aforementioned date,
such binaries were built with the GNU C ("gcc") and C++
("g++") compilers by default, but
for various reasons, particularly performance-related ones, all new packages
(or rebuilds of existing packages) will be built with HP's compilers.
In order to match our compiler build environment, users will need to install
the HP ANSI C and C++ compilers and apply appropriate patches.
Here's a list of our setup (to download a patch, right click on one of the
US,
Europe
links and use "Save As..."):
Whilst new packages may still build with gcc/g++, we no
longer build/test with gcc/g++ and cannot guarantee that packages dated from
Monday 13th November 2006 onwards will build
or run correctly if gcc/g++ is used. Over time, we will also be rebuiding
existing gcc/g++-built packages with HP's compilers instead.
