Hi all, on my local computer i use gcc 3.4 and have no troubles, on my paid host im compiling with gcc 2.95 and am having troubles with some things, i did notice that the host has gcc 3.3.1 installed as well, tho im at a loss as to how to get it to compile with this version.

I have tryed to add some flags to the CC = gcc section of the make file, but i couldnt make it happen, -V 3.3.1 .

So im at a loss, any ideas or a good fac that i can read to help me in this would be great.

Thanks.

Yeah, some older versions of gcc have issues compiling. Like old version will compile Smaug okay, but not SmaugFUSS. Such as the spunge.org host, has such an old gcc, SmaugFUSS won't compile. My only suggestion is to have the host upgrade. 4.0.x is the newest gcc, they're pretty outdated.

Thing is, alot of the issues the later GCC 3.x compilers were designed to force you to fix are not going to work on 2.95 because some of these issues stemmed from actual compiler bugs and not just code bugs. So fixing those will often make 2.9x think the code is buggy even when this isn't true.

I would tend to agree with the assessment that anyone still using 2.9x should probably consider upgrading. If not to 4.0 then at least to 3.4 which has proven to be quite stable.

The host has 2.95 and 3.3.1 installed i just dont know how to make it compile on the 3.3.1 version of gcc, as it defaults to 2.95.

Its just a pain at the moment to have to upload exe files rather than the few c files i have changed.
