The Testing Area :: More May Extensions

I didn't notice anything wrong with the other gcc1.dsl. It worked great for me.

I downloaded and tried out the new gcc1.dsl that clacker mentioned. I compiled a few extensions with it. It seems to work fine.

It would have been helpful if it was named differently. Maybe gcc2.dsl?

There really wasn't anything "wrong" with the other one...it's just as clacker said this one is much easier to use because many of the common headers are already included with the package, which means many more apps can be built without needing additional files.

Clacker: It would be handy to have Xft.h 1.1 included in a future version. It seems as though the one in XFree86-devel.dsl is 1.3?, and as a result i typically disable xft when building myDSL extensions that want it (i haven't tracked down 1.1 yet). Anyway...just a thought =o)

Thanks for the feedback. Anything else like that xft that I missed would be good to know about. I'm also going to add libungif, libtiff, and freetype support to the next version because they weren't that big (about a meg and a half).

A different name for the package might not be a bad idea.

Winter Knight, I took your advice and renamed the package "gcc1-with-libs.dsl" because nothing changed except the additions.

Mikshaw, I tried adding xft but I saw what you mean about the version levels. I wasn't able to make that work.

The new version named "gcc1-with-libs.dsl" includes libungif, libtiff, and freetype support. This in addition to the flex-bison-libtool.dsl and cvs.dsl extensions should make compiling and building in dsl a little easier.

Thanks clacker!

I just made a remaster with the packages you mentioned and it seems to work as a charm. Thanks again!

Have fun,
