Caveat for ugrading gcc in a distribution based on Slackware-14.2?
by Didier Spaier from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EN1E)
Hello,
I have gcc version 5.5.0 (genuine Slackware package).
If upgrading to the version in -current (10.2.0) or at least 9.2.0, will I have rebuild libtool after that ?
According to gentoo I would need to also rebuild llvm, clang and wxGTK3 (installed in Slint). Others that come to mind?
On the other hand, do I need to first upgrade other components of the system before upgrading gcc?
Thanks for any clue.
PS The reason I consider upgrading is that some software need or will soon need a more recent GCC
