9<p>T<p>he latest version of this document is always available at
10<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/">http://gcc.gnu.org/install/</a>.
11
12<p>This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC as well
13as detailing some target specific installation instructions.
14
15<p>GCC includes several components that previously were separate distributions
16with their own installation instructions. This document supersedes all
17package specific installation instructions.
18
19<p><em>Before</em> starting the build/install procedure please check the
20<a href="specific.html">host/target specific installation notes</a>.
21We recommend you browse the entire generic installation instructions before
22you proceed.
23
24<p>Lists of successful builds for released versions of GCC are
25available at <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html</a>.
26These lists are updated as new information becomes available.
27
28<p>The installation procedure itself is broken into five steps.

30<ol type=1 start=1>
31</p><li><a href="download.html">Downloading the source</a>
32<li><a href="configure.html">Configuration</a>
33<li><a href="build.html">Building</a>
34<li><a href="test.html">Testing</a> (optional)
35<li><a href="finalinstall.html">Final install</a>
36</ol>
37
38<p>Please note that GCC does not support <code>make uninstall</code> and probably
39won't do so in the near future as this would open a can of worms. Instead,
40we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own and simply
41remove that directory when you do not need that specific version of GCC
42any longer, and, if shared libraries are installed there as well, no
43more binaries exist that use them.
44
45<p>There are also some <a href="old.html">old installation instructions</a>,
46which are mostly obsolete but still contain some information which has
47not yet been merged into the main part of this manual.
