[pdp-discuss] Redhat 8.0 HOW-TO

["Joshua W. Brown" <jwbrown@artsci.wustl.edu>]

Hi all,
This message is for anyone who wants to run pdp++ on Redhat 8.0.

As you may know, Redhat 8 uses gcc 3, which conveniently cuts out important
stream support required by pdp++.  Nonetheless, it can be compiled using the
backward compatibility gcc 2 rpms.  The link below is a (rough) log of how I
successfully built (hacked) pdp++ 3.0 (Nov. 12) to run on Redhat 8.0.
