I've been trying to build a documentation package called "synopsis" (
http://synopsis.fresco.org/index.html ). It requires gcc 3.x.
I have gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]
So, of course, I cd'd to /usr/ports/lang to build a later version of gcc.
I tried gcc33 first (to no success) and then gcc32 (different errors):
cd /usr/ports/lang/ gcc33
sudo make install
Making GCC 3.2 for FreeBSD 4.7 elf target i386-portbld-freebsd4.7
>> Attempting to CVS checkout from
:pserver:anoncvs at subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gcc.
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to subversions.gnu.org(199.232.41.3):2401

>> Couldn't CVS checkout gcc-3.2_20020518.
>> Please try again later.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gcc33.
cd ../gcc32
sudo make install

*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gcc32.
then I tried gcc31 - I get a lot further...
but I get a lot of warnings:
../../gcc-3.1.1/gcc/combine.c:10573: warning: comparison between
signed and unsigned
still, it did eventually build and (with nudging) install.
Have people built 3.2?
Should I worry about the errors building 3.1?
