- Subject: Backward Compatibility of Gcc complier
Hi,
I have a situation when we installed gcc 2.953 on a new
Solaris 2.8 server. However, when we compile some "old" programs
which has been working in the old server (Solaris 2.5) we got compilation
errors like headers not found. There seems to be some headers missing in
the new compiler when we compare the headers files. I am not able to
ascertain the version of the compiler in the old server
but it was installed a few years ogo. Is there a backward compatibility
problem with the gcc compiler ??
Any advice on this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
