This is announcement of DJGPP port of GCC-4.2.1

GCC used to stand for the GNU C Compiler, but since the
compiler supports several other languages aside from C,
it now stands for the GNU Compiler Collection.


Warning: DJGPP port of binutils-2.16 or newer is required

=======================================
Build for current stable version of DJGPP (djdev203 patchlevel 2) is
available from:
  ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/

  (it is identical with file gnu/gcc-4.21/readme.DJGPP in archives
        gcc421b.zip and gcc421s.zip)

Binaries are built und tested mostly under Windows XP Pro (SP2)
========================================
Build for development version of DJGPP (CVS version of djdev204) is 
available from
  ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/

ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/ada421b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gfor421b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gcc421b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gpp421b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/objc421b.zip

Binaries for djdev204 will not work with djdev203 (at least
C++ compiler).
Binaries for djdev203 may perhaps work also with djdev204 CVS
versions, but such use is not recommended.


Source RPMS needed for building Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler
=============================================================

I have tested RPMs under Fedora Core 7. Thanks Gordon
Schumacher for updates to specs file. So source RPMs should
hopefully be used in other RPM based Linux distributions like
Suse Linux

Cross-compiler SRPM:
  ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/rpms/djcross-gcc-4.2.1-9.src.rpm

ALso SRPMs of cross-binutils and DJGPP development libraries are available:

  ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/rpms/djcross-binutils-2.17-5.src.rpm
  ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/rpms/djcrx-2.04pre-5.src.rpm


=========================================

See
  http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2
for more information about GCC-4.2.1 and about changes in comparison 
with earlier versions

Also see file gnu/gcc-4.21/readme.DJGPP (from gcc421b.zip and 
gcc421s.zip) or
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/README.gcc421 for more
information about this port.

There is also my web page about DJGPP port of GCC

(I'm not however sure, that I'll update it very often ...)
