FreeBSD The Power to Serve

GCC on FreeBSD

Contact: Lorenzo Salvadore <salvadore@FreeBSD.org>

This quarter the main news is about the new GCC releases:

  • lang/gcc11 has been updated to 11.5.0, which is the last GCC 11 planned released;

  • lang/gcc12 has been updated to 12.4.0;

  • lang/gcc13 has been updated to 13.3.0;

  • lang/gcc14 has been updated to 14.2.0.

The exp-run to update GCC default version from 13 to 14 has started. As usual, thanks to everyone involved.

If you maintain any of the affected ports or want to give a hand preparing and testing some patches, please consider trying adding -fpermissive to CFLAGS in affected ports: GCC 14 has transformed some warnings into errors, which is the cause of many of the failed builds. The -fpermissive flag switches those errors back to warnings.
