Maruisz,
The package wants to install in /usr/local. Will this clobber (i.e. overwrite) my existing gcc 2.95.2 installation?
If gcc is installed in /usr/local then it CAN do it. Probability is SMALL, though: files common for gcc and gpc should be equal anyway.
Victor is right. Since my package is based on gcc 2.95.2, I think common files i.e. libgcc.a, collect2 and specs should be equal up to functionality. Files my differ due to compiler used. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyways, Claude, Solaris pkgadd utility reports all files that are to be overwritten during package installation. It lets you decide if to overwrite or not. So make a backup of that files for safety. I'm using both gcc 2.95.2 and gpc 19991030 simultaneously on Sparc and Intel flawlesly.
Sorry List for being a bit OT, regards
