- SCO sells a separate software development package which provides the
- compiler and libraries.
-
- Currently you have to get the software development package to use the
- GNU C compiler. Steve Bleazard and Ronald Khoo ported GNU C, GNU C++
- and gdb to Xenix. Personally I compile everything with the GNU
- compiler, saves me a lot of trouble.
