old gcc needed

do anyone have gcc older than 4.3.x cached?
My system crashed due to ext4 and kernel-2.6.25 and now rebuilding some packages need the gcc.
I had to completely reinstall my system. Also an older gcc-gcj.

Thanx:D

Re: old gcc needed

There are gcc3 (3.3.6) and gcc34 (3.4.6) packages in the extra repo.

Re: old gcc needed

got them, they don't do the trick. I need just gcc, not 3 but thanx.
I even had to roll back before my system crashed to build a few apps I needed from AUR.

Any of these good?

As per http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=365170, I never clear my cache with pacman -Scc (and explain why in that post).

Re: old gcc needed

Okay, they're online at http://dav7.net/gcc/

funkmuscle: Please do tell me when you've downloaded them, so that I can remove them.

to anyone other than funkmuscle: Unless you -need- these packages, please don't download them, as I have a capped connection (12GB/mo), and while I'm fine with people grabbing what they need from me if I can give it to them, downloading stuff for the sake of it doesn't exactly make sense. Especially with my kinda link. =P

Re: old gcc needed

hey... what's not rebuilding with the latest GCC? If they're some of Arch's packages, be kind and file a bug (assuming there isnt one already...).

Ardour-2.4.1... It was building before my system died due to ext4 issues.

Re: old gcc needed

When an app doesn't build with current gcc version, always make sure it is known and reported first, and check if there isn't already a patch available.
Only after you have investigated some time on this, you can think about working around the problem by building with an older gcc.

Otherwise, no progress will ever be made...

Re: old gcc needed

Of course I did all you said shining. I know the routine. Everyone at the proaudio thread is having this problem. The funny thing is that in the repo, ardour is still at 2.3.1 when ardour is up to 2.4.1.
I had it running with an older gcc and I need to have it running again so I can't wait but yes  you're right and this is a known issue. Lot's of apps never build after the new gcc..

thanx dav7 and shining.

What you said is not clear at all.
What we need is for example links to bug reports on Arch bug tracker and on ardour bug tracker.
Do you have these? If not, make them.

Re: old gcc needed

this has been worked on by someone else already... it turns out to be more that gcc:
we've had this issue for sometime as ardour is at 2.4.1 and arch is still 2.3.1

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 54#p372154

Thanx again guys.

Re: old gcc needed

Hey, I just took a peek at my access_log for dav7.net a few moments ago and discovered this:

<IP removed> - - [31/Aug/2008:20:37:30 +1000] "GET /gcc/ HTTP/1.1" 404 260 "http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=48031" "Opera/9.52 (X11; Linux i686; U; ru)"

Does anybody want a particular version of gcc or something? I can put /gcc/ back up if you want.
