45 GCC is distributed via
<a href=
"http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html">SVN
</a> and FTP
46 tarballs compressed with
<samp><span class=

</span></samp> or
47 <samp><span class=

50 <p>Please refer to the
<a href=
"http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">releases web page
</a>
51 for information on how to obtain GCC.
53 <p>The full distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran
77, Fortran
54 (in case of GCC
4.0 and later), Java, and Ada (in case of GCC
3.1 and later)
55 compilers. The full distribution also includes runtime libraries for C++,
56 Objective-C, Fortran
77, Fortran, and Java. In GCC
3.0 and later versions,
57 GNU compiler testsuites are also included in the full distribution.
59 <p>If you choose to download specific components, you must download the core
60 GCC distribution plus any language specific distributions you wish to
61 use. The core distribution includes the C language front end as well as the
62 shared components. Each language has a tarball which includes the language
63 front end as well as the language runtime (when appropriate).
65 <p>Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific
66 distributions in the same directory.
68 <p>If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
69 installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your
70 OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or
71 a separate one. In the latter case, add symbolic links to any
72 components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler
