Hi,
I am trying to get the latest version of gcc-g++ compiler. I downloaded
gcc-g++-4.3.2.tar.gz. I want to use this compiler as a user to compile
C and C++ programs.
The "core package", 'gcc-core-4.3.2.tar.gz' of course should be
installed first, the 'g++' one only adds the C++ support...
I uncompressed it in directory /opt/gcc-4.3.2.
Probably in '/opt' ? The 'gcc-4.3.2/*' stuff should appear there.
BTW, the '/opt/gcc' is one suggested $prefix so using
'--prefix=/opt/gcc' in configure would mean installing
things into '/opt/gcc/bin', '/opt/gcc/$target',
'/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/$target/4.3.2' and
'/opt/gcc/libexec/gcc/$target/4.3.2'...
The build itself could happen in '/opt/build' and configuring
there like :
../gcc-4.3.2/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc (and so on, use whatever
options you would see being necessary for your specific target...)
