Egcs is based on a recent +snapshot of the gcc-2.8 development sources; it contains nearly +all of the new features found in gcc-2.8. Egcs also contains many +improvements and features not found in gcc-2.7 and even the soon to be +released gcc-2.8 compilers. C++ support, and in particular template +support, is vastly improved over gcc-2.7. + +For more details, see <http://www.cygnus.com/egcs/>. + +Beware: This port installs new versions of "gcc", "g++", "c++" and +so forth into the "${PREFIX}/bin" directory. Mind your PATHs if you +don't want to use this compiler by default. + +- John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com> |
