| Well, gcc 3.4.4 is more than adequate for compiling. The newer versions usually add more standards compliance, and fix some rather obscure bugs you are likely to never encounter anyhow.
I'm assuming you're on a laptop of some kind? Can you set up internet connection sharing, with your laptop hosting and the desktop wired to the laptop? |

| | I don't know how I would do that. I'm using my work laptop with their cingular aircard. How would I wire the desktop to the laptop to gain the connection? | | Top |

I wouldn't bother. The version you have compiles and works. Why fiddle with it? |

| | Yea, I'm not going too. I'm just curious to see if I can connect my desktop to my laptop and get internet on my desktop. I don't know if this is possible or not. I don't have a hub or anything. Just ethernet cables. | | Top |

| If your laptop is running Windows, I think their internet connection wizard will do most of the work for you. You will need to add an ethernet cable between the desktop and the laptop, and also run the wizard on the desktop saying it will be getting its connection from elsewhere.
I've not actually done this before, but I've done similar things and have seen people do it, so I know it's possible.
You should try poking around in the wizards, but be warned that it's easy to break your existing configuration; if you don't know how to fix your laptop's settings in case this breaks, I'd advise against doing much here because you might lose both sources of internet access. :-) |

| | nah, I don't really know what I'm doing...heh. I messed around a bit with it, but nothing's happening. So I don't want to try and mess anything up. I don't want to explain to my company that I screwed up their laptop. :) | | Top |

gcc 4.x will not build and install on Cygwin... yet.
