Hi Dan. I've just about completed your kernel course on Udemy. What I'm wondering here, on this preparation lecture is; Can I use GCC the way we configured it for the kernel course, in this course ? Or, will that present a problem ? That's how I have GCC currently set up.
Hello Larry,
Congratulations on finishing the kernel course. You will need to use the normal GCC compiler and not your cross build version. Run the command on Ubuntu "sudo apt install gcc" and then run the "gcc -v" command to see the current version. Ensure you use the "gcc" command and not your cross compiler build.
Thanks
Dan
Hi Dan. Thanks for the prompt response and the info regarding my question. I greatly appreciate it ! I had a feeling that the `cross build' version wouldn't be appropriate for building this compiler. I just wanted to be sure to verify that with you before I start in on this.
Thanks again,
Larry
Your very welcome Larry please reach out for any more questions have a great christmas and new year
Hello again Dan. I hope that all is going well with you ! I've started in on the very early stages of your compiler course. I realized from the onset that you stated that Git & GitHub we're optional. As I stated in one of my other messages to you, I successfully completed your original Kernel development course and really enjoyed it immensely. I did not use Git or GitHub on that specific course.
Since the compiler course is a relatively LARGE project, I decided that I would use Git this time around. I can tell you very straightforwardly, that I am very new to using Git & GitHub. I thought that it would be a good idea especially for the compiler course. I've dabbled a bit with Git a few years ago, but nothing extensive. I'm also very much aware of the magnitude of texts as well as tutorials just on learning the two technologies. However, since I'm right at the very initial stage of the compiler course, I've done a couple commits, but I'm undoubtedly a little confused.
I was wondering, if you had some time, if you could just take a quick look at my repository for the compiler course and just let me know if what I've done thus far looks as erroneous as I think it does, and possibly give me any advice on what you think I'm doing wrong ? And of course, how to proceed ?
As always, any advice and/or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
