which compilers do we want to support with KDE 4 ?

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

I guess you have noticed, I had started a poll on www.kdedevelopers.org. The 
result after 432 votes:

gcc < 2.95:   0% (1 vote)
gcc 2.95:     1% (3 votes)
gcc 3.0/3.1:  0% (0 votes)
gcc 3.2:      0% (2 votes)
gcc 3.3:     11% (46 votes)
gcc 3.4:     29% (127 votes)
gcc 4.0:     45% (193 votes)
gcc >= 4.1:  14% (60 votes)

So from the developer POV, I'd say gcc 3.3 should be supported, this would 
force only 1.5 % percent of the developers to upgrading.
Supporting only gcc >= 4.0 would bring problems for 41 % of the developers, so 
this would be no good idea.

Now it would be interesting to get some more information about platforms and 
which compiler they ship, especially those different from Linux.

Bye
Alex
