Re: Can I safely upgrade gcc/g++

From the "stock" gcc-3.4.4 to the current gcc-4.2.0 from ftp.gnu.org? Will this break anything in cygwin?

Since 'gcc' is in no way a requirement for a functional Cygwin installation, I don't see why not. This assumes* however that you can get gcc 4.2.0 to build on Windows :-).


(IIRC 4.1.0 doesn't, and 4.3.0 is looking much more promising... I forget how good/bad the situation with 4.2.0 is.)
