Still trouble with GCC 4.7?

Post by dialNforNinja »

I'm putting together a toolchain on a new (well, not NEW new, but not previously used for development) machine, and need to know what versions to look for. If I can just grab the Code::Blocks with bumdled GCC it's nearly a one-step process, but the current C::B comes with MinGW GCC 4.7.x

I am using g++ 4.7.0 and have used it since before Irrlicht 1.8 release.

I'll take that as "probably not" then :) Removing the line about that on the "Using Irrlicht with C::B" wiki page might be advisable in that case, or changing it to read that "the previous stable release (1.7.3) had a problem with GCC 4.7+ due to a strange change in the compiler, but this has been fixed in Irrlicht 1.8" as some may continue to use old versions if they have an existing project based on them.

If you think it should be changed, then please change it. The wiki is entirely community maintained.

Once this latest snow storm is dealt with and I'm back to that machine, I'll take note of what if anything else is different while getting all the ducks in a row, then edit to suit. I just wasn't sure whether there was an official wiki moderator, well that and the one previous time I tried to do anything to a wiki it only ended in tears.

No wories, I'd be glad if more people started rewriting the wiki.

Grrr. Naturally, the universe continues conspiring to keep me from accomplishing anything useful at every turn... Though if IrrKlang is indeed still incompatible with the updated compiler, I'll have to set up with the older version anyway. I'll still try to edit in an appropriate note if I CAN EVER GET A DAMN MINUTE!

Just a little frustrated...
