GCC and 1.2pre3

[Greg Freemyer <freemyer@NorcrossGroup.com>]

My test system is SuSE 8.0 based and it comes with GCC 2.95.3

It seems to compile reasonable CVS kernels.

I am trying to load XFS 1.2pre3 onto it.

When I do a "rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2pre3.src.rpm" I get:

===
david:/data2/XFS source # rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2pre3.src.rpm
Installing kernel-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2pre3.src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
modutils >= 2.4.18 is needed by kernel-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2pre3
dev is needed by kernel-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2pre3
gcc >= 2.96-98 is needed by kernel-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2pre3
===

So what is the recommended compiler?

And is it available from http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html, because there is not a 2.96 listed.

Also, where do I get the package "dev".

TIA,
Greg
