update to gcc 3.4 with linvdr07

Hey!

To my mind, it's possible to get gcc version 3.0! So if you type

linvdr:~# debtool -s gcc

you get

altgcc - Alternate gcc package for the libc5 environment.
colorgcc - Colorizer for GCC warning/error messages
gcc - The GNU C compiler.
gcc-2.95 - The GNU C compiler.
gcc-2.95-doc - Documentation for the GNU compilers (gcc, gobjc, g++).
gcc-3.0 - The GNU C compiler.
gcc-3.0-base - The GNU Compiler Collection (base package).
gcc-3.0-doc - Documentation for the GNU compilers (gcc, gobjc, g++).
gcc-avr - The GNU C compiler (cross compiler for avr).
gcc-h8300-hms - The GNU C/C++ cross-compilers for the Hitachi H8/300[HS] processors
gcc-i386-gnu - Cheap cross-compiler for GNU/Hurd.
gcc272 - The GNU C compiler.
gcc272-docs - Documentation for the gcc compiler (gcc272).
gccchecker - Memory access debugger for C language development
libgcc1 - GCC support library.
toolchain-source - The GNU binutils and gcc source code

You see, that the latest version of gcc is 3.0!

Well, I do have the same chip in my stick, but monni isn't available since monday, so maybe we have to wait, until he returns and offers us his driver!

Greets, Frederik

Update:
Which distribution do you use to compile the source? Or do you try to compile it on your VDR? There is a statement of cooper which sais:

Zitat

The method of compiling with the VDR is very hard to realize, so it's better to build up a "real" development system!

But you have to use the same kernel on your development system as you use on your VDR. You get the kernel version when you type

uname -a

Greets, Frederik

That was'n really the answer to my question...

Greets, Frederik

So you compile with your VDR!? Hmm, as said, it's better to use a second PC to compile!
I'm not the best concerning compiling, so I'm not the one to give you a How-to... Sorry!

Greets, Frederik

Zitat

is it possible to update the stock gcc2.95 to 3.4
on my linvdr07 ?

Sure. If everything else fails, you can stil get the source of GCC 3.4 and compile it yourself.

I am trying to build the zd1211 driver for my x-micro
WLAN 11g USB Adapter

You're aware that you can't compile any module with a different compiler than the rest of your kernel? So, you must build the whole kernel again.

I think you'll find it easier to compile the kernel with all the drivers on a complete different system containing GCC 3.4, e.g a Debian Sid, Suse, Ubuntu, whatever. There is no need to have all binaries of your system built with the same compiler, but you must not change the compiler between kernel modules or VDR plugins.
