Subject: libg++ 2.5.3l is on tsx-11
Date: 23 Dec 1993 12:13:53 +0200

Message-ID: <2fbr11$85k@klaava.Helsinki.FI>

This is the binary release of the GNU C++ library 2.5.3l (libg++ 2.5.3)
for Linux. You have to install gcc 2.5.7 or above and libc 4.5.8
or above to use it. Please don't use it with older gcc or libc.

It is on tsx-11.mit.edu under pub/linux/packages/GCC and is compressed
with gzip 1.03.

Iostream is now back to libg++.a. But you have to use it with libc
4.5.8 or above. Due to the upcoming merger of ncurses, I didn't include
CursesW.o in libg++.a.

I discourage compiling libg++ 2.5.3 yourself unless you know what you
are doing. I have made many modifications. I hope my changes can be
merged in the next libg++ 2.5.x. But I don't know what/when it will
happen.

If you really want to compile libg++ 2.5.3 yourself, please follow my
instructions closely. You can get the source code libg++-2.5.3.tar.gz
from any gnu ftp sites like prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu or
ftp.uu.net:packages/gnu. You should first apply my patch,
libg++-2.5.3l.diff.gz, which will be on tsx-11.mit.edu under
pub/linux/packages/GCC after libg++ 2.5.3 is released.
After running "configure", you should go to libg++/src and do

1. rm regex.*
2. vi Makefile. You should remove all the references to
   regex.[o|h|cc|c]. I don't want to patch libg++ such that it won't
   compile on other platforms.

Then you can do a make at the top.

The file list:

1. libg++-2.5.3l.tar.gz

  libg++.a, libiostream.a, libiberty.a, g++-include and genclass. It
  is libg++ 2.5.3l. To install

  cd /
  zcat libg++-2.5.3l.tar.gz | tar xvvof -
