From fa5dde5a3073dfec3aef17cb974a15065f71c4e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Polstra Date: Sat, 10 Jan 1998 21:40:10 +0000 Subject: This is a new port for egcs, which probably stands for something like "enhanced GNU compiler suite." It contains updated versions of gcc, g++, and g77 with many bugfixes and some new optimizations. The C++ compiler in particular is vastly improved over gcc-2.7.2.1. --- lang/gcc44/pkg-descr | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) create mode 100644 lang/gcc44/pkg-descr (limited to 'lang/gcc44/pkg-descr') diff --git a/lang/gcc44/pkg-descr b/lang/gcc44/pkg-descr new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..8931be9c3979 --- /dev/null +++ b/lang/gcc44/pkg-descr @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +Egcs (pronounced "eggs") is an enhanced version of the GNU compiler +suite, including gcc, g++, and g77.
