<h1 class="settitle">Downloading GCC</h1>
<a name="index-Downloading-GCC-1"></a><a name="index-Downloading-the-Source-2"></a>
GCC is distributed via <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html">SVN</a> and FTP
tarballs compressed with <samp><span class="command">gzip</span></samp> or
<samp><span class="command">bzip2</span></samp>.  It is possible to download a full distribution or specific
components.

   <p>Please refer to the <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">releases web page</a>
for information on how to obtain GCC.

   <p>The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java,
and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers.  The full
distribution also includes runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C,
Fortran, and Java.  In GCC 3.0 and later versions, the GNU compiler
testsuites are also included in the full distribution.

   <p>If you choose to download specific components, you must download the core
GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish to
use.  The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the
shared components.  Each language has a tarball which includes the language
front end as well as the language runtime (when appropriate).

   <p>Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific
distributions in the same directory.

   <p>If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your
OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or
a separate one.  In the latter case, add symbolic links to any
components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler
(<samp><span class="file">bfd</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">binutils</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">gas</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">gprof</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">ld</span></samp>,
<samp><span class="file">opcodes</span></samp>, <small class="dots">...</small>) to the directory containing the GCC sources.

   <p>Likewise the GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries can be automatically built
together with GCC.  Unpack the GMP, MPFR and/or MPC source
distributions in the directory containing the GCC sources and rename
their directories to <samp><span class="file">gmp</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">mpfr</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">mpc</span></samp>,
respectively (or use symbolic links with the same name).
