Title: GCC
Post by: deadly7 on February 26, 2005, 07:30:49 PM

Someone, help me.
I can't figure out which goddamn'd files to download. :| it's driving me insane, I've been staring at the website http://gcc.gnu.org for the past half an hour and I can't figure out which files to download. Yes, I did look at the download page. No, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I didn't know which ISO to download, which files to download, none of that.

I would personally try getting Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) first.

QuoteMicrosoft Windows (32-bit)

A port of GCC 2.95.2 and 3.x is included with the Cygwin environment.

Current (as of early 2001) snapshots of GCC will build under Cygwin without modification.

GCC does not currently build with Microsoft's C++ compiler and there are no plans to make it do so.

Try going to this (http://www.cygwin.com/) link and acquiring that.

If that doesn't work (doubtful), then click (http://ftp://mirrors.laffeycomputer.com/pub/gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/index.html).

The .tar.gz and the .tar.bz2 are the same thing, just different compression. I know WinRAR can decompress gzipped tarball archives, so get the .tar.gz one.

This thing better not like, fuck my computer over. I don't have a boot drive to recover it.

Then I suggest you download + burn Slackware (http://www.slackware.com/) to a CD. No guarantees it will fuck your drive over, no guarantees it won't. :)

Or.. one of the LiveCD distro, I'm not sure if they have gcc but probably do.

Are you trying to get it for Windows or Linux? If Linux, which distro?

Deadly is trying to install it in Windows.

Then just install Dev-C++. It comes with gcc, make, and other cool stuff.

Is it a program, or does it modify Windows for something? (yes I did read the link)

My understanding is that it's a program that emulates a Linux shell

Well then, it'd just be easier to install Slack on my other comp. (where the hell WERE you, yago!)

That wouldn't be easier, but it would be better.

Use DJGPP It doesn't use MINGW so it can link elf executables :)

1) You have cable. Go find a MSC++ torrent..

2) Dev-C++ is just your average program. It opens up, gives you a box you type (C++ code) in to, and then it compiles.
