%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ gcc-&gcc3-version;.tar gcc GCC-&gcc3-version; The reason for installing GCC-&gcc3-version; is that some packages have not been updated to be compiled by GCC-&gcc-version;. Additionally, some pre-compiled packages may require the GCC-&gcc3-version; libraries at run-time. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gcc3-md5sum; Download size: &gcc3-size; Estimated disk space required: &gcc3-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gcc3-time; Additional Downloads Required patch: Required patch: GCC-&gcc3-version; Dependencies Optional (required to run the full test suite) Install GCC-&gcc3-version; by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-&gcc3-version;-no_fixincludes-1.patch && patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-&gcc3-version;-linkonce-1.patch && mkdir ../gcc-build && cd ../gcc-build && ../gcc-&gcc3-version;/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-&gcc3-version; \ --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix && make bootstrap If desired, run the test suite using the following commands. The test_summary commands create log files which can be compared to known good results located at . make -k check && ../gcc-&gcc3-version;/contrib/test_summary >test_summary.log 2>&1 && ../gcc-&gcc3-version;/contrib/test_summary | \ grep -A7 Summ >test_summary_short.log 2>&1 Now, as the root user: make install && mv -v /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/lib/libstdc++.so.5* /usr/lib && ln -v -sf /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/lib && ln -v -sf libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/lib/libstdc++.so.5 && chown -v -R root:root \ /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/&gcc3-version;/include mkdir ../gcc-build; cd ../gcc-build: The GCC development team recommends building in a separate directory. --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix: Configures GCC to build the C and C++ compilers and enable the related C++ options. mv -v /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/lib/libstdc++.so.5* /usr/lib: Moves the C++ library to the standard lib directory to avoid having to add /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf. If you only need the GCC-&gcc3-version; C++ library, you may delete /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;. Whenever you need to use GCC-&gcc3-version; instead of your system installed compiler, add /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/bin to the front of your PATH or (preferably) set the CC environment variable before compiling the concerned package.
