Stuff for GCC


GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, is the de facto standard compiler toolkit for most Open Source software platforms.

Below are a couple precompiled copies of gcc. They are provided here because i needed them and they weren't readily installable on my Kubuntu boxes. The binaries were built on Kubuntu 7.04 on i686 hardware. They "should work" on any Debian 4.x dirivative, including all of the *buntu family of OSes. They may or may not work on other Linuxes. They are compiled for installation under /opt/gcc/VERSION/..., so as to not interfere with system-installed copies and to allow multiple versions to coincide. To install them, simply unpack the tarballs to the root directory, which will place them under /opt/gcc/VERSION/....
  • gcc 3.4.6 is useful for building QEMU (which can't build using gcc 4.x):
    gcc-346-kubuntu-feisty-opt.tar.bz2 (25142517 bytes, last modified 2007.Jun.25)
  • gcc 4.2.0 is here because i wanted to keep the gcc 4.1 which Kubuntu put on my box yet also test my code under the newer compiler:
    gcc-420-kubuntu-feisty-opt.tar.bz2 (52742928 bytes, last modified 2007.Jun.25)
As newer GCC releases come out, you may find binaries for them here before they are available for installation via the standard channels (that is apt-get for Debian/*buntu users) because i like to make sure that my code compiles using the latest tech.
