And, yes, I know that groff and libstdc++ require a C++ compiler. The difference is that devd is required for a functioning system while neither groff nor libstdc++[1] would be required. [1] If devd is written in C, then a C++ library would not be needed. -- SteveReceived on Fri Jun 12 2009 - 16:09:16 UTC
