how to use an older gcc ?

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby]

Hi,
I have to compile qemu 0.8 RPM on a fedora core 4 box.
FC4 comes with gcc4 but qemu wont compile with it.

How should I do to get temporarily a gcc 3.3.6 just to compile it then
get back to my gcc 4?

I lost my FC4/FC3 CDs, would you know a (FTP if possibe) repository
where I could find a gcc 3.3.6 rpm?

You'd be better served asking the qemu maintainter in Fedora Extras for 
a package update.

http://bugzilla.redhat.com, against Fedora Extras/qemu

Hi,

GCC 3.3.6 is nowhere to be found in the Fedora community; other than my
site.  Even then, my RPMs are for FC1 and probably will cause problems
on FC4/3 environments.

The best approach would be to contact the gemu rpm builders and see if
they have a version that will compile/run with gcc 4 or the binary RPMs
for Fedora Core 3/4 releases.

Good Luck,

There's gcc-3.2.3 available as:
compat-gcc-32
compat-gcc-32-c++

There are a plethora of fedora mirrors out there:

Google is your friend.

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/suse/9.1/i386/suse/i586/gcc-3.3.3-41.i586.html

may be close enough.

You could download the old rpm and install it in a secondary directory and 
compile static binaries.

              For  relocatable binary packages, translate all file paths that 
start with OLDPATH in the package relocation hint(s) to NEWPATH.  This option 
can  be  used  repeatedly  if several OLDPATH’s in the package are to be 
relocated.
