Trying to update gcc from 4.2.1 to 4.7.3

cartland said:
In 9 the latest version is 4.2.1. I used pkgng to "install" 4.7.3 (from http://pkgbeta.freebsd.org/freebsd-9-amd64/latest).

/usr/local/bin/gcc47 is there but gcc -v (which is only in /usr/bin) reports 4.2.1.

I was planning to follow the instructions in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html but this may now be out of date.

What's the advice about resolving this?

thanks

don't touch that, except if you will use it for testing.

now ports tree and base system are being moved to Clang/LLVM, newer than gcc42 and similar to newer gcc versions. if a specific port needs a newer GCC it's marked as an option(some ports let you choose GCC version) or dependency.

Thanks. After additional reading I left gcc alone. I adapted my code and build to be gcc 4.2.1 compliant. I'll add clang support at a later date.
