using older GCC++ (3.3 and 4.3) with 11.2M5

English Programming/Scripting
1

Hello
for various reasons I need to use
gcc 3.3 and 4.3
(actually I need 3.4 – but that’s not provided)

on my 64 bit 11.2M5 installation.

I installed those packages with Yast but C++ does not work there

gcc-4.3: error trying to exec ‘cc1plus’: execvp: No such file or directory

the same error is for 3.3

the preprocessors are installed, but they are named cpp-3.3 and cpp-3.4 (while gcc is looking for cc1plus)

I cannot resolve this myself, and therefore askign for advise.

Also, as side note, the /usr/lib64/libSM.so is reported as ‘bad symbolic link’ – as it is not linked to anything.

thank you in advance

Hi
you need to export the flags for the system to use/override the default
softlinks, for example;


export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3
export CXX=/usr/bin/g++-3.3
export CCP=/usr/bin/cpp-3.3
../configure......

Hi,
I tried that but still get

> $CXX Test.cpp
gcc-3.3: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus’: No such file
or directory

Since there is no g+±3.3 I had to modify the exports slightly

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3
export CXX=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3
export CCP=/usr/bin/cpp-3.3

But still it looksl like the compiler wants cc1plus

may be there is a ‘switchto’ script or other configuration I could try?

thank you

Hi
It may be lurking down in the /usr/lib… area. If you run
cnf cc1plus
Or use YaST to browse the gcc33 file list to see where it is.

Hi, by itself gcc-3.3 does not install the CPP processor (or at least I do not see it)

35 files total

So I separately installed cpp-3.3
but the gcc-3.3 does not want to use cpp-3.3 for some reason

Hi
Grab the one from Factory Devel repository;
<RPM OpenSuSE gcc33-c++ 3.3.3 x86_64 rpm;
<ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/devel:/gcc/openSUSE_Factory/x86_64/>

Not sure if repo has changed or Missed them the first time
but
I found and installed additional two packages
gcc33-c++
and
gcc43-c++

once installed the 3.3 and 4.3 compilers worked

thank you
