Description Khem Raj 2013-03-26 18:32:44 UTC

gcc 4.8 has been released, we should target to use it in 1.5

Comment 1 Bogdan Marinescu 2013-05-07 08:46:30 UTC

Khem already put gcc 4.8 on master.

Comment 2 Saul Wold 2013-05-08 15:13:51 UTC

Not really enabled yet!  We have the recipes, but it's not default, this will come when I throw the PREFERRED_VERSION switch

Comment 3 Saul Wold 2013-06-28 18:57:52 UTC

Khem did the heavy lifting of getting the recipe all put in place, I just 
enabled to switch!
