Installing egcs-1.0

This document describes the generic installation procedure for egcs as well as detailing some target specific installation instructions for egcs.

egcs includes several components that previously were separate distributions with their own installation instructions. This document supercedes all package specific installation instructions. We provide the component specific installation information in the source distribution for historical reference purposes only.

We recommend you read the entire generic installation instructions as well as any target specific installation instructions before you proceed to configure, build, test and install egcs.

If something goes wrong in the configure, build, test or install procedures, first double check that you followed the generic and target specific installation instructions carefully. Then check the FAQ to see if your problem is covered before you file a bug report.

The installation procedure is broken into four steps.

Before starting the build/install procedure please browse the host/target specific installation notes.
