Look here : http://forums.next.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=3481.0
There is a post of mine with explanations and a link on how to setup more GCC versions on linux.
I've done it with SuSe 10.1, installing GCC 4.0.3 and it works perfectly.

p.s. Of course, that must be done by hand, forget Yast for this task....

From the link I posted :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After installing the new GCC, codeblocks can be built using it with these steps

export CC=/opt/gcc/4.0.3/gcc403
export CXX=/opt/gcc/4.0.3/g++403
./configure --enable-contrib
make
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

this of course if your new compiler is  /opt/gcc/4.0.3/gcc403
You can also add "make install" to install c::b if you want.

RPM has nothing to do with it, you're compiling from sources, not installing a RPM.

Better.... compile from source, make an RPM and install it makes not much sense...  RPM are useful only to distribuite it.

By using a package you make it very easy to uninstall something later.  I use checkinstall on the time to generate packages for custom compilied programs.  Then I all I have to do to uninstall the program is check a box in the package manager.  Checkinstall runs "make install" then generates a debian package and installs it.  There might be something similar for rpms.

checkinstall works same for RPMs

I've uploaded a source RPM of gcc 4.0 that will be installed to /opt/gcc_40 the executables all have "_40" as suffix. It will create two packages gcc_40 and gcc_40-fortran. I didn't create the package myself, I took the gcc 4.0 package for Suse 9.3 from another packager. I didn't test whether it builds completely (no time yet, will do it today), but since nor suse 9.3 specific neither I did big changes (added some essential buildrequires and disabled gcc-gnat and gcc-java build) it should build correctly.
Here is the link: http://www.uploading.com/?get=O5PPGVII

To build the package do these steps:
1. run sudo rpmbuild --rebuild --target=$ARCH gcc_40-4.0.2-0.daniel2000.1.src.rpm (replace $ARCH by x86_64, i586 or whatever you have )
2. the install the package /usr/src/packages/RPMS/$ARCH/gcc_40-4.0.2-0.daniel2000.1.$ARCH.rpm

Could you upload last nighlty snapshot to rapidshare.de if you using x86_64 arthitecture?
Thank you
