GCC INSTALLER

Install GCC compiler from source

View On Github Download .zip Download .tar.gz

This is a simple shell script written in bash to install GNU GCC compiler from official source code. This may be useful when you want the latest version of gcc which isn't available in binary form for your running Linux system.

How To:

  1. Download the official source code (in tar.bz2) from here. Choose the latest version.
  2. Put the gccinstall file into that folder where the tar.bz2 archive is.
  3. Give it execution permission and run it.
  4. It will ask for version number, give it. If there is no other file starting with gcc in that folder then simply hitting enter without giving version number will do too.
