ppa - GCC 4.8 / MINGW W64 4.8

There is a PPA where I can find these packages for 12.04? Also a build script will do the job!




I've tried to download it from sources but the dependencies are a mess.



I'd like to start porting my projects to C++-11 but don't want to waste too much time installing from sources stuff...



GCC 4.8 will be included in 13.04? If so I could wait a pair of months :)



I've tried to install it as specified by this question:
How to install gcc-4.8 :



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test



[ok]



sudo apt-get update


[ok]



gabry@nevada:~$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gcc-4.8


It seems that there is no version for 12.04...



Actually I'm trying to build from sources, I've had luck with the native compiler but I'm going crazy to build a mingw32 w64 with std::thread support...
