Re: [IBMiOSS] Compiling the Compiler!

Hi Andrea,

Great to hear from you and what a great tutorial you've put together;
thanks for sharing it with the world.

I don't know how long you've been on opensource@xxxxxxxxxxxx but Kevin
Adler (IBM'er) has brought up the idea of using OBS (build.opensuse.org)
for automating the IBM i build process of open source binaries. Given your
depth of knowledge I am wondering if you'd offer your opinion on pursing
something like that and whether you know of potential issues off the top of
your head.

Hope you're doing well.

Hi,

In 2012 I was in Vienna presenting at the COMMON Europe Congress about
Upgrading GCC in PASE.
The presentation is still available on line on SlideShare at
http://www.slideshare.net/comeur/vienna2-13592498
Old stuff, but many concepts may still hold true.

Also note the new GCC builds (GCC 6.2 was released the 22nd of August 2016
!) from Bull: see http://www.bullfreeware.com/search.php?package=gcc (a
“second source" policy could be a good idea.)

Dr. Michael Perzl’s presentation (October 2013, see
http://www.idh.ch/IBM_TU_2013/opensource%20on%20AIX.pdf ), offers an
interesting historical view of the Open Source topic for AIX.


Enjoy the reading!

Andrea
