|---|
| 31 | GCC is distributed via <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html">CVS</a> and FTP | 
|---|
| 32 | tarballs compressed with <code>gzip</code> or | 
|---|
| 33 | <code>bzip2</code>.  It is possible to download a full distribution or specific | 
|---|
| 34 | components. | 
|---|
| 35 |  | 
|---|
| 36 | <p>Please refer to our <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">releases web page</a> | 
|---|
| 37 | for information on how to obtain GCC. | 
|---|
| 38 |  | 
|---|
| 39 | <p>The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, | 
|---|
| 40 | and Ada (in case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers.  The full distribution | 
|---|
| 41 | also includes runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, Fortran, and Java. | 
|---|
| 42 | In GCC 3.0 and later versions, GNU compiler testsuites are also included | 
|---|
| 43 | in the full distribution. | 
|---|
| 44 |  | 
|---|
| 45 | <p>If you choose to download specific components, you must download the core | 
|---|
| 46 | GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish to | 
|---|
| 47 | use.  The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the | 
|---|
| 48 | shared components.  Each language has a tarball which includes the language | 
|---|
| 49 | front end as well as the language runtime (when appropriate). | 
|---|
| 50 |  | 
|---|
| 51 | <p>Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific | 
|---|
| 52 | distributions in the same directory. | 
|---|
| 53 |  | 
|---|
| 54 | <p>If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing | 
|---|
| 55 | installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your | 
|---|
| 56 | OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or | 
|---|
| 57 | a separate one.  In the latter case, add symbolic links to any | 
|---|
| 58 | components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler | 
|---|
| 59 | (<code>bfd</code>, <code>binutils</code>, <code>gas</code>, <code>gprof</code>, <code>ld</code>, | 
|---|
| 60 | <code>opcodes</code>, <small class="dots">...</small>) to the directory containing the GCC sources. |
