Recipes for gcc-native

Recipes for gcc-native

Hello,
I am wondering, if there is any reason, that yocto project does not delivers recipes for gcc-native ( in similar way as python-native for example)?

It would allow to build native recipes with different/higher version of gcc, than this, which user has on my build servers.


Best regards,

Krzysztof Taborski

This would not solve the problem fully and yet create more maintainer
burden since the supporting libraries are still coming from distribution
underneath and this would create yet another combination for variable

I think container approach would solve this for us in a nicer way

Most supported distribution do support newer compiler packages and that’s a
better option since they would have tested it on that distribution to some
extent

It's fully understandable for me, that gcc handling is more complex and harder to maintain, than other -native recipes.
Nevertheless I am feeling inconsistency, because all native tools can be delivered in container and native recipes would be not needed at all.
