Hello,
It is almost impossible to install GCC and it's ridiculously
complicated no clue no nothing and the website is terrible.
No installing it is a personal issue.
I would like to help me through solving your puzzle (Don't take it as
a compliment)
PS. My laptop is macbook pro with os high sierra 10.13.2 .
Best regards
Here is the track I follow:
1. Download the version of GCC I want to custom compile.
2. Change into the directory where I've decompressed the source
and run the command:
./contrib/download_prerequisites
3. Create a build directory
./mkdir build-gcc-somefeature
4. Change into the build directory created in 3.
5. Figure out the options I want to include in my build:
../configure --help
I often look at the current installation of gcc to see what's set:
gcc -v
6. Issue the configure command. For instance, here's the one I used for
gcc-7.2.0:
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-7.2.0 \
--enable-checking=release \
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++ \
--enable-shared \
--enable-threads=posix
7. make
8. make install
To me, gcc is one of the smoothest, and easiest installations and custom
compilations out there. I actually love it and really appreciate the
effort of the devs who have gotten it to the point of it being this
straightforward.
