objc compiler for hamm
The current gcc and egcs objc compilers doesn't translate the gstep-*
packages. However newer snapshot versions of egcs doesn't have the bug
anymore. Is the following proposal a solution for the problem?
- from the egcs package, a new package gobjc, which contains only the
(not working) ObjC compiler, is built. The gobjc package installs a
new driver gobjc in /usr/bin (which is a link to gcc).
- the gobjc package provides a virtual package objc-compiler
- from a newer egcs snapshot, a gobjc package with a working objc
compiler is built (the gstep-base package depends on this compiler).
This package provides it's own gobjc driver. This package goes to
the hamm release.
It seems to be ugly to have a new driver name for the ObjC
compiler. Another alternative would be not to install a driver at all,
but to call the appropriate compiler with 'gcc -V <working-objc-version>'
Currently I have uploaded a new non-maintainer release, which simply
splits off the objc files from the g++ package and provides a gobjc
package.
