Re: [MiNT] The newest GCC/Binutils binaries



MiKRO, many thanks for that packages !
It is essential that everyone test that new compiler in order to validate everything is OK. I'm very confident, because it has been able to build successfully binutils, GCC, MiNTLib, PML, gemlib, CppUnit, Quake, ScummVM, EmuTOS...
The major bugs seems to have been fixed now.

It is true that GCC 4 is much more strict than older versions. So old programs often need some clean-up in order to be compilable with GCC 4. It is always a good thing as it may help to discover potential problems.

On the other side, any new software should compile with GCC 4 just out of the box. If some required features are missing from the MiNTLib, we are free to add them.

It is important we keep our tools up to date if we want to be able to port the latest software to our platform.

So let's try to recompile everything !
