I tried the MorphOS SDK and found it only included an old version of GCC, version 2.95.3. Is there a newer version for MorphOS?

I tried compiling my latest (at present console-only) C++ project (see final line) with MorphOS G++ and Make. It built with no warnings, but ran with some horrendous bugs not present when using newer versions of G++. Debugging it to work with 2.95.3 is going to be a pain!

AROS has GCC 4.2.4, so why is MorphOS SDK stuck with ancient 2.95.3?

MorphOS SDK includes gcc/c++ 4.4.5.

If you wish to compile your particular project with gcc4 use this in makefile:
CC=ppc-morphos-gcc-4
CXX=ppc-morphos-c++-4
CPP=ppc-morphos-cpp-4

You can also use SDK:gccselect and SDK:gccselect4 to change the default compiler version if desired.

That worked. I wonder why it defaults to the older GCC?

Only for the older ABI apparently - I read the new one is up to GCC 4.6.2 already.

Because 2.95.3 is that we consider a stable compiler - MorphOS itself is (for most part) compiled with it. Since the official programming language we endorse is C, there's no need for a different default.
