Hi.
I'm looking for the version strings from the following to add to my collection as I don't want to leech all the CD's and install them. I'm hoping some of you might have them set up in emulation. Also if it has been upgraded (patched). It seems the Japanese versions are also different.
GCC version:
gcc -v(i = Intel, n=Next, p=PPC, J=Japanese)

Thanks :D
EDIT: (10 May 2026) Added more strings including Project Builder Strings.
The following code is to get the current directory name so you can add it to your build file.
$ pwd | rev | awk -F'/' '{print $1}' | rev
or just use:
$ basename `pwd`
I think this is the shortest command line. The line I used before the previous post was longer still :'(
