darlene... i imagine that it should be easy enough to get the source rpms for the rhel gcc that you're using, and have/allow your engineers to rebuild it on FC3, using the same compilation/build options.. this should give you a compile/build environment close to what rhel has. it may not be exact, given the FC3 will still have potential difference that may result in you seeing different errs/msgs... welcome to the world os distributed software development!!! but this can be a good thing. it gives you/forces you to build consistent code across varying systems. -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Root, Dalene Joy Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 7:36 AM To: mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: gcc for fedora Hi Matt, Reference Message #10 Forgive me if I sound naive. I am not a programmer. The reason that we wanted to use gcc 3.4.3-9 on Fedora is because some of our developers are using Fedora Core 3 and some have purchased Redhat ES4. RHES4 has gcc-3.4.3-9 while Fedora 3 has 3.4.3-22. There seems to be an incompatibility between the two versions. Here is an excerpt of the original complaint. We have a serious problem with incompatible versions gcc. It turns out that the versions of gcc that get installed with Fedora Core 2, Fedora Core 3 and RedHat ES4 are different. There are instances where compile errors that do not get produced with one version will be produced on another. In particular this becomes evident in forward namespace, forward class and friend class declarations. We decided we would rather have 3.4.3-9 because RHES4 is supported and my lead feels that would be more stable solution. Thanks, Dalene Root
