possible to add gcc standalone builds to the release section?
DeveloperKev opened this issue · 15 comments
Hi,
i think this repo is missing something, that is: the releases section. It cant be bad if we could get standard gcc standalone builds. just like @fxcoudert did. (sorry Coudert, i dont feel alive when u post bugs here)
and to install brew, it is time consuming, also tedious to get just one compiler which they dont post directly.
thanks for the good work!
What do you mean by “standard gcc standalone builds”? If you mean binaries, there are a lot of way to get those:
- Homebrew, or MacPorts, or other distributions
- installers which I build and post there
The focus of this repository is the open source code itself.
yeah, binaries.
@fxcoudert does your installer needs xcode command line tools to be installed? also does macos sdk comes with the os itself?
does your installer needs xcode command line tools to be installed?
Yes. The command-line tools are required for development on macOS, and need to be downloaded for Apple.
does macos sdk comes with the os itself?
No, Apple distributes it with the command-line tools and with Xcode.

so, i;ve to install xcode command line tools first, then the installer
one more thing, how will i call g++? will i have to manually symlink it to higher than clang?
If you want C/C+/Ada, plus a lot of other Ada-related tools, see here.
The x86_64 builds use standard GCC, the aarch64 builds use this repo.

how do i add your binaries to path?

Set your PATH variable to include the right directory: https://kb.iu.edu/d/acar

thanks, i appreciate.
one suggestion, plz try to remove unnecessary tools and focus on c++
"unnecessary" means what? -- if you mean that you are not interested in them, please consider that other people are interested
(FWIW I am a WG21 member, so obviously work on c++).

i mean for the sake of space, and specific people. but there will be differences.
@iains u forgot to answer the issue.
I do not plan (at this time) in producing binaries for GCC-12, as seen above there are other folks doing that.
Actually, I do plan on producing a bootstrap toolchain based on GCC 10.4 at some stage, since that is the last version that can be built directly using system tools on all supported versions of OS X / macOS.

Why would I want to do that? since (clearly) my main focus is Ada.
@simonjwright it doesnt mean, u cant do separate builds.
i am saying the installer is big in size.
