Why very old binutils, gcc and newlib? #78

Closed terremoth closed 3 years ago

terremoth commented 4 years ago

It does not work with new versions of it?

fjtrujy commented 4 years ago

Exactly. The 3 items, gcc, binutils and newlib they have a specific patch with the needed changes to make it work for the PS2. Upgrade them to a newer version is not an easy task and requires a lot of time and knowledge.

@fjtrujy ah. okay :cry:
maybe one day we could achieve that

terremoth commented 4 years ago

Will this be an active issue for people interested in port those tools to new versions, or can I close this issue?

uyjulian commented 3 years ago

They have been updated now for EE. This issue can be closed

fjtrujy commented 3 years ago

Closing issue.

terremoth commented 3 years ago

Wow. Wait, so everything was updated to new GCC version (10) or some things would still using the old one? @fjtrujy @uyjulian

uyjulian commented 3 years ago

Only EE was updated. IOP still has some problems
