GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, supports a number of languages.  This
port installs the C, C++, Fortran and Java front ends as gcc46, g++46,
gfortran46, and gcj46, respectively.

It can be used interchangibly with the lang/gcc46 port which tracks
weekly upstream snapshots whereas this port will be updated less
frequently, mostly in sync with upstream releases, and will move to
lang/gcc47 and later over time.

No longer download Objective-C related files which we don't actually use. Minor style changes. Adjust the ports description to the new style I am using for the various gcc ports and remove an obsolete note on memory consumption when building libgcj (the Java library). 2009-11-20 01:03:20 +01:00			`GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, supports a number of languages.

Adjust references to the GCC version to refer to 4.6. Reported by: Eitan Adler <eitanadlerlist@gmail.com> 2010-05-07 20:30:06 +02:00			`port installs the C, C++, Fortran and Java front ends as gcc46, g++46,`

Document the large memory requirements when building with Java support. Discussed with: alepulver 2007-03-31 16:41:28 +02:00
Welcome the new lang/gcc port! This shall track our preferred version of GCC (usually an upstream release). It starts out as GCC 4.6.1 and is thus in conflict with lang/gcc46 and will move towards later minor versions of GCC 4.6 and then on to GCC 4.7. lang/gcc will provide gcc46, g++46, gfortran46 etc. exactly like lang/gcc46 with which it is interchangible. This is also planned to be in sync with our existing USE_FORTRAN knob so that users have the option of using this port, rarely updated, or the corresponding lang/gcc46 which follows weekly upstream snapshots. On the way rename %%GCC_VER%% in pkg-plist to %%GCC_VERSION%% and make the Makefile machinery a bit more generic to minimize differences between lang/gcc ports based on releases and those based on snapshots.

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/`
Update to the 20090618 snapshot of GCC 4.5.0. Tweak pkg-descr "footer". Add hack for non-default LOCALBASE until the ports infrastructure has been fixed. [1] The new share/libstdc++/python/libstdcxx has now moved to a version specific location based on an upstream report of mine. And there are now three new ffi related man pages.
