I'm compiling a compiler... ask me anything!

[St. Jarvitude]

And yes, I have just blown my own mind. So don't ask me that.

Whoa.

[Endangered Specie]

1. What language?

[St. Jarvitude]

4. Updating gcc

So I guess C would be your answer.

Actually, right now I'm compiling glibc.

6. Is this personal or a project?

[St. Jarvitude]

9. Er, personal... I guess

I use Linux as my home desktop. It's come time to update KDE (the desktop manager I use) and it looks like I may need to update gcc to get around a few kinks.

10. That's cool.

:toast:

[Deja Q]

2. To blow your mind, wouldn't you have to reach into yourself?

:evilgrin:

[St. Jarvitude]

12. Sick! You're sick!

You've gone mad.

No, I take that back... you've always been mad.

:spank:

[Syrinx]

3. so pulling yourself up by the bootstraps?

Eh?

[Renew Deal]

7. Is this a reference to a computers bootstrap?

Or are you a non geek?

[Syrinx]

8. yep, bootstrapping

I'm a mini-geek. :)

5. You created a compiler?

Is this like the post to the minix board 14 years ago by Linus Trovalds? Will we be looking back at this moment?

[St. Jarvitude]

11. No

I'm I'm compiling gcc using gcc. Which is pretty mind blowing to me.

[DeepGreen]

13. Cool ! Did you fix it ? nt

[gmoney]

14. Listening to a compilation CD?

Maybe "Great Disco Hits" or "Big Band Favorites"?

[St. Jarvitude]

16. Best of Ringo Starr

;)

Just kidding.

15. What would really be wierd is if...

you were transported back in time. Have you read Timeline? (The movie sucked, but the book...)
