- Subject: Relationship between libstdc++ and libsupc++
Hi,
I have a few newbie questions.
1. For my project i am replacing libstdc++ with a 3rd party standard C++ library. As i understand the language support routines in libstdc++ have been collected into libsupc++. Is this correct? Can i assume there is no compiler/language specific magic in libstdc++?
2. For my tests i want to build gcc 3.3.2, libstdc++ and libsupc++(for --target=i386-elf). While i have built gcc, the instructions for building libstdc++ are somewhat confusing to me. The gcc tar ball contains a subdirectory named libstdc++. Am i to build this directory? The libstdc++ installation page says i am to delete this and replace it with the separate libstdc++ tar ball that i can obtain from ftp.gnu.org (latest i can see libstdc++.2.90.8.tar.gz). However a README in that directory says one should use the libstdc++ that is packaged with gcc tar ball(from 3.0 onwards). How do i proceed? Also do i need to configure gcc and libstdc++ with their respective configure scripts separately(since libstdc++ is contained under gcc)?
Thanks
Ram
