I recently compiled my own GCC because I needed to build MySQL 5.1 and my Mac OS X uses LLVM, which caused errors. The MySQL documentation recommends to use
CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti"
but configuration breaks if I use them. The configure output shows, for instance:
checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions... no
If I don't use the flags, everything works fine and have a MySQL working but I was wondering if I'm missing some code optimisation... or maybe I built a buggy MySQL?
I built GCC 4.8.2 with GMP 5.1.3, MPFR 3.1.2, MPC 1.0.1, ISL 0.11.1 and CLooG 0.18.0. Am I missing something?
I hope you can help me understand all this. I just do web development and sometimes this software building details are hard to get. Always trying to learn though. Thanks!

I would like to use SFML but at first place i need to get the same version of SFML and dev c++ compiler. It was easy to get the SFML 7.3.0 version, but i can't find the 7.3.0 version of compiler, even the MinGW installation manager doesn't have it, but i need it. I've tried searching the internet, but i found nothing that could possibly help me. The only way for me to use SFML, is using 4.9.2 version of compiler and SFML for now, but it's old and have a lot of bugs/oversights. So if u use SFML 7.3.0 or know how to get and use it, pls tell me how to.
I don't follow your statement that you need the MinGW GCC 7.3.0 compiler to build SFML 7.3.0.
When looking at SFML (https://www.sfml-dev.org/download.php) the latest version seems to be 2.5.1.
That version builds perfectly well with more recent versions of MinGW/MinGW-w64.In fact even the latest GCC 11.2.0 can build it - I used the 64-bit standalone build from https://winlibs.com/ to try this.
GCC 7.3.0 is several years old. There is usually no reason to use very old GCC versions. Instead you can tell GCC to use an older standard of the C language with the -std= flag (e.g. -std=c89).
I'm trying to get the newest version of node (12.1.0, at present) running on a CentOS 6.10 box. This is a problem because the standard CentOS binaries are out of date; e.g.:
./node: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by ./node)
(a number of other references like this also appear)
when I try to install and run the binaries, and the g++ / c++ tools are out of date. But I've decided to try to compile from source, if I can get the tools properly aligned.
I've gotten an updated version of the compiler tools from the CERN devtools (http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/devtoolset), and seemingly have them installed properly. What I've gotten from various places around the web is that I need to export pointers to these new libraries before doing the configure, like:
export CC=/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/gcc
export CPP=/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/cpp
export CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/c++
These do have the updated and sufficiently modern versions, e.g.,
/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/c++ --version
c++ (GCC) 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-15)
But they don't seem to be getting into the configuration process:
[root#linux2 node-v12.1.0]# ./configure --prefix=/opt/node-12.1.0
WARNING: C++ compiler too old, need g++ 6.3.0 or clang++ 8.0.0 (CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-2/root/usr/bin/c++)

INFO: Using floating patch "tools/icu/patches/64/source/i18n/dtptngen.cpp" from "tools/icu"
WARNING: warnings were emitted in the configure phase
INFO: configure completed successfully
When I cross my fingers and try to make anyway, I get a whole bunch of compilation results and then a bunch of errors, omitted here (for now) for brevity.
Anyway: it's just not working. Can anyone see what's going on here, and how I can get things right? Thanks!
You need a newer devtoolset, 6 or 7 instead of 2. This link should help. And use scl like it suggests instead of setting env vars yourself.
Here's my problem: I want to use C++11 features provided by either gcc or clang. However, I have these requirements:
I'm using a mac
I'm dependent on a bunch of libraries provided by homebrew (and really don't want to compile them myself). Specifically OSG, which itself is dependent on a ton of other libraries. And boost, though I can always compile that myself.
Homebrew seems to only want to use gcc (please correct me if I'm wrong). I can't find any options to switch to LLVM instead. While I understand that this might be due to the fact that not all libraries are compatible with LLVM yet, this would still be a nice feature for those that are.
The version of gcc that comes pre-installed on a mac of gcc is 4.2. gcc 4.2 doesn't have the c++11 features required. I've installed 4.7 via homebrew, but searches for how to set homebrew to use it all say don't do it (gcc 4.2 on the mac is not the vanilla version, so the 4.7 version I got won't be able to compile some things).
My questions are: Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes they have implemented to get around this problem? Should I give up on Homebrew? Does anyone know if Homebrew has a plan to switch to LLVM in the future? Does anyone have any upgrade-plan for how to deal with these incompatibilities?
I don't see how homebrew can continue to depend on gcc 4.2 in the long run, but haven't found any real discussion on this matter.
The default GCC on Mac is not real GCC of GNU. It's LLVM-GCC in fact, which is a branch of GCC. Several years ago, LLVM-GCC was terminated, and replaced with DragonEgg, which is a GCC plugin to use LLVM as a GCC backend.
LLVM-GCC is just a compiler frontend, whose role is using GCC frontend to translate the source code into LLVM IR[Intro to LLVM 11.3]. Once IR generated, LLVM backend will use it to generate binary code. This step has nothing to do with GCC.
The above goal was fully achieved from 10.7, whose components were all compiled by clang, a frontend provided by LLVM.
But Apple still kept LLVM-GCC and GCC runtime libraries. I guess its purpose might be providing a opportunity to compile some code GCC ONLY.
Now let's answer your questions:
If you want to use C++11 features, use clang++ -stc=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ instead. And clang might have already supported all c++11 features.
If you want homebrew supporting LLVM, it has already supported, at least on backend.
If you want homebrew using clang as a compiler frontend, it depends on homebrew community schedule. For example, you can append --with-c++11 argument to use clang to compile boost.But you cannot use this argument when brew install autoconf. In fact, some components might not be compiled correctly by clang.
If you know it can be compiled by clang but homebrew hasn't supported yet, you have to hack the corresponding ruby script at $HOMEBREW_ROOT/Library/Formula directory. Fortunately, in most of cases, replacing ./configure blablabla with ./configure blablabla CXX=clang++ -stc=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ works well. And by the way, if your hack is successful, please make a pull request to homebrew.
So, try it and have a fun.
I have an OS X Mountain Lion environment and use C++11. In this answer I'll break your requirement for not compiling your own stuff.
I use Homebrew and, I must say, I advise you to give up on depending on it to provide you clang and libc++ and all its formulas built with them.
What I've done, and I like, is
clone llvm, clang and libc++ from repositories.
install to /opt/local and put /opt/local/bin at top on /etc/paths.
build my development stuff with my new clang.
let Homebrew for installing tools like git and things I'll not develop for, just use.
I've followed clang build instructions for installing it to /opt/local.
For libc++, one detail: after running the buildit script, I've symlinked the include directory to /opt/local/lib/c++/v1 (clang on /opt/local looks for this as default directory), and also symlinked the libs to /opt/local/lib/ (but look that binaries will not automatically link to libc++ on /opt/local/lib. You must use install_name_tool for that).
use
clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++
you can also install latest gcc from homebrew-dups
brew install [flags] https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/master/gcc.rb
For LLVM, brew install --HEAD llvm. To use clang or a brew-installed gcc, add --with-clang or --with-gcc=gcc-x.x where x.x is the version you want.
I am solving questions on Interviewstreet.com. They said they use C++ version g++ 4.6.3,C0x mode.
I am writing code on code blocks. So i want to know which version iam using in code blocks is it in C0x mode or C11 mode??
I have tried using g++ --version i got g++ TDM-2 mingw32 4.4.1.Can u tell me where i can get this kind of information.
what is the difference between C++ 0x and C++11??
You'll have to update the version of g++ to 4.6.3 (or later) if you want to use c++11 features. See this question and it's answers on how to do it for deb linux.
Then you'll have to pass --std=c++0x to the compiler in options. You should be able to easily find them in codeblocks.
what is the difference between C++ 0x and C++11??
c++0x is a synonym for c++11.
The command:
g++ --version
gives you the version of your g++ or mingw compiler. Since you got g++ TDM-2 mingw32 4.4.1 then your version is 4.4.1. If you want to use version 4.6.3 as in that web site, then you would have to update.
It wouldn't hurt to use a newer than 4.6.3 version of mingw, so please see here for the latest version. This page offers an windows installer for mingw.
After installation, you would have to configure CodeBlocks to use the newly installed compiler by looking into Compiler and debugger settings -> Toolchain executables tab and setting the paths for the compiler-related executables to the new ones.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Here is a small tutorial/example of what the CodeBlocks settings look like.
I have to write a c++ program, and i want to do this in vstudio 2010, because it's the most comfortable way for me. But later this code will be compiled in gcc 4.3.2 (ejudge). I can't find gcc 4.3.2 binaries for Windows, if there any ways to check correctness of gcc compilation? Or maybe anyone will help to find gcc binaries? I found this link http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download but there i can't find 4.3.2 version binaries, only source code. Thanks.
MinGW, or Minimalist GNU for Windows, is a set of GNU compilers for Windows platforms. It's the easiest way to use G++ on windows platform. You could also use Cygwin, but it would be a bit of overkill.
As I recall g++ 4.3.2 was used in an older version of the Code::Blocks IDE, as the bundled compiler.
However, I'm currently unable to connect to [http://www.codeblocks.org], so I don't know if they provide downloads of older versions.
