 3 Downloading GCC
 *****************
 
    GCC is distributed via SVN and FTP tarballs compressed with `gzip' or
 `bzip2'.  It is possible to download a full distribution or specific
 components.
 
    Please refer to the releases web page for information on how to
 obtain GCC.
 
    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.
 
    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).
 
    Unpack the core distribution as well as any language specific
 distributions in the same directory.
 
    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 (`bfd',
 `binutils', `gas', `gprof', `ld', `opcodes', ...) to the directory
 containing the GCC sources.
 
    Likewise, the GMP and MPFR libraries can be automatically built
 together with GCC.  Unpack the GMP and/or MPFR source distributions in
 the directory containing the GCC sources and rename their directories to
 `gmp' and `mpfr', respectively (or use symbolic links with the same
 name).
