Porting to OS/2: Install newer gcc and binutils by Paul Smedley
newer gcc builds In many cases, gcc 3.3.5 shipped with kLIBC is enough although it's a bit old. However, some cases such as multimedia projects, require newer gcc. Fortunately, Paul Smedley maintain thoes new gcc builds. He maintains many version of gcc from 4.3.x to 4.9.x, which is latest. But among them, I think, 4.4.6 build is most stable. If you use more recent version of gcc, then try to the latest version if possible. However, current 4.9.0 build is known to have a bug in codes generated by it. This is not OS/2 specific, but gcc itself. So you'd better wait to 4.9.1 build or later. Anyway install gcc 4.4.6 first. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76425158/gcc-4.4.6-os2-20130714.zip Unzip this into your gcc directory. We installed gcc into x:\gcc. So do this. unzip gcc-4.4.6-os2-20130714.zip -d x:\gcc Then your gcc is installed in x:\gcc\usr\local446. Get gcc4.cmd to set up environments for newer gcc builds. https://github.com/komh/etc/raw/master...
