GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection includes C, C++, Java and Fortran.

This port installs the various front ends as gcc44, g++44, gcj44,
gfortran44 and so forth into the ${PREFIX}/bin directory.

(Building the Java frontend and the associated libgcj library will
consume more than 512MB of main memory.  Set WITHOUT_JAVA=yes in 
the environment when building this port to avoid that.)

Adjust the names of the individual frontends to GCC 4.0. PR: 73581 2004-11-09 23:29:42 +01:00			`GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection includes C, C++, Java and Fortran.`
This is a new port for egcs, which probably stands for something like "enhanced GNU compiler suite." It contains updated versions of gcc, g++, and g77 with many bugfixes and some new optimizations. The C++ compiler in particular is vastly improved over gcc-2.7.2.1. 1998-01-10 22:40:10 +01:00
Now track GCC 4.4 development (currently at 4.4.0 snapshot 20080229) via the new lang/gcc44 port. At this point, this is mostly identical to what we have in lang/gcc43 which is in the final stages before the GCC 4.3.0 release, but things will start diverging soon.

Document the large memory requirements when building with Java support. Discussed with: alepulver 2007-03-31 16:41:28 +02:00			`(Building the Java frontend and the associated libgcj library will`

GCC 2.95 and later aren't called egcs (any longer). Also update description and web address. Approved by: obrien (maintainer+mentor) 2002-04-17 09:17:04 +02:00			`WWW: http://gcc.gnu.org/`
