January 23, 1998: Moved to egcs. Go to the egcs directory.
January 21, 1998: (2.7.2.fu.1-2O) g77-0.5.19 rebuilt with gcc-2.7.2-2O recently uploaded to ftp.linuxppc.org. Notice that I have changed the release numbering scheme: release number now coincides with that of the corresponding gcc. This version requires the latest "binutils" and "glibc" which in turn necessitates updating to wip980112 or later. See the update note for system updating instructions.
December 7, 1997: (2.7.2.fu.1-1C) g77-0.5.19 rebuilt with gcc-2.7.2-2M recently uploaded to ftp.linuxppc.org. This version includes libU77, man, and info files for g77 as well as a symbolic link to libf2c.so.
October 31, 1997: Matsumura at Osaka Univ. pointed out that man and info files for g77 had been missing in the RPMS. As a temporary cure, I prepared them as a tar ball (g77-info.tar.gz). Sorry for inconvenience.
August 6, 1997: In order to download an RPM file with Netscape, move the mouse cursor to a target link and, in the case of Unix, press the right button, or in the case of Mac, keep the mouse button pressed until a contextual menu shows up. Then select "Save Link As" and save the RPM file as "Source".
August 2, 1997: (2.7.2.fu.1-1B) rebuilt with gcc-2.7.2-1L coming with DR2.1update4.
July 29, 1997: (2.7.2.fu.1-1A) updated to include libU77.
July 16, 1997: (2.7.2.f.1-1A) 1-st version with g77 support.

[1] Files

This directory has the same structure as that of /usr/src/redhat after building the gcc with fortran support. The gcc part was extracted from gcc-2.7.2.1-2O retrieved from ftp.linuxppc.org. The fortran part is g77-0.5.19 which is the latest version that is compatible with the gcc-2.7.2.1-2O.

RPMS/ppc/*.ppc.rpm : binary packages

SOURCES/* : source files and patches

SPECS/*.spec : package building specs

SRPMS/*.src.rpm : source package

README.html : this file

g77-info.tar.gz : info and man files (obsolete for 1C or later)

[2] Precaution: This is NOT for WIMPs

You have to be brave enough to install this package, since it is going to overwrite your existing gcc compilers and might destroy your compiling environment! Presumably, the C, C++, and obj-C parts of the package must practically be identical to the ones coming with the DR2.1update4 shared library support, but nevertheless I cannot guarantee the consequence of the installation. As always, install the package at your own risk! Be aware also of the fact that "f2c" with g77-0.5.19 is older than the one I separately built:

f2c-19970709-1A.ppc.rpm

f2c-libs-19970709-1A.ppc.rpm

and thus the library libf2c.*'s are very likely to be incompatible. Do not mix them up in linking!

[3] Installation Instructions for Wip971224 or Earlier

Before installing the package it is a good idea to keep

gcc-2.7.2.1-2L.ppc.rpm

gcc-c++-2.7.2.1-2L.ppc.rpm

gcc-objc-2.7.2.1-2L.ppc.rpm

that come with the DR2.1update4 shared library support, so that you can go back to the standard environment anytime you want.

Now make up your mind and do:

$ ls

gcc-2.7.2.fu.1-1C.ppc.rpm

gcc-c++-2.7.2.fu.1-1C.ppc.rpm

gcc-g77-2.7.2.fu.1-1C.ppc.rpm

gcc-objc-2.7.2.fu.1-1C.ppc.rpm

$ rpm -qpl gcc*

If you are satisfied with the contents of the package: proceed to

$ su

# rpm -U gcc*

Now you are ready to try them. Good luck!

[4] Installation Instructions for Wip980112 or Later

Before installing the package, make sure that you have "binutils" and "glibc" updated. See the update note for system updating instructions. It is also a good idea to keep

gcc-2.7.2.1-2O.ppc.rpm

gcc-c++-2.7.2.1-2O.ppc.rpm

gcc-objc-2.7.2.1-2O.ppc.rpm

that correspond to a system upgraded to wip980112 or later with shared library support, so that you can go back to the standard environment anytime you want.

Now make up your mind and do:

$ ls

gcc-2.7.2.fu.1-2O.ppc.rpm

gcc-c++-2.7.2.fu.1-2O.ppc.rpm

gcc-g77-2.7.2.fu.1-2O.ppc.rpm

gcc-objc-2.7.2.fu.1-2O.ppc.rpm

$ rpm -qpl gcc*

If you are satisfied with the contents of the package: proceed to

$ su

# rpm -U gcc*

Now you are ready to try them. Good luck!
