    I’m using VisualGDB with the cross-compile toolchain for my Raspberry pi project, and it is a very powerful productivity boost. However, i would like to have GCC 4.8, for C++ 11 support. Would you consider to compile that toolchain and make it accessible for VisualGDB?
    Thank you.

    I just emailed support about this very issue for exactly the same reasons.

    And did you get any response?

    Hi,

    We are currently still investigating the feasibility of building the 4.8 toolchain. So far we have managed to update our Raspberry Pi device to Jessie, but there are still some things to figure out before we can publish the toolchain.

    Thank you for releasing the gcc 4.9.1 toolchain. I’ll try it.
    I guess i need to update the raspberry i use for debugging, to have the compatible gdb there. But will my new binaries run on the standard raspbian image?

    Hi,

    You need to update the Raspberry to have the compatible libraries like libc and libgcc. If you want to support the original Raspbian image, you need to use the same GCC version that the image has.
