  42 <h1 class="settitle">Installing GCC</h1>
  43 The latest version of this document is always available at
  44 <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/">http://gcc.gnu.org/install/</a>.
  45
  46    <p>This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC as well
  47 as detailing some target specific installation instructions.
  48
  49    <p>GCC includes several components that previously were separate distributions
  50 with their own installation instructions.  This document supersedes all
  51 package specific installation instructions.
  52
  53    <p><em>Before</em> starting the build/install procedure please check the
  54 <a href="specific.html">host/target specific installation notes</a>.
  55 We recommend you browse the entire generic installation instructions before
  56 you proceed.
  57
  58    <p>Lists of successful builds for released versions of GCC are
  59 available at <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html</a>.
  60 These lists are updated as new information becomes available.
  61
  62    <p>The installation procedure itself is broken into five steps.
  63
  64      <ol type=1 start=1>
  65 <li><a href="prerequisites.html">Prerequisites</a>
  66 <li><a href="download.html">Downloading the source</a>
  67 <li><a href="configure.html">Configuration</a>
  68 <li><a href="build.html">Building</a>
  69 <li><a href="test.html">Testing</a> (optional)
  70 <li><a href="finalinstall.html">Final install</a>
  71         </ol>
  72
  73    <p>Please note that GCC does not support <span class="samp">make uninstall</span> and probably
  74 won't do so in the near future as this would open a can of worms.  Instead,
  75 we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own and simply
  76 remove that directory when you do not need that specific version of GCC
  77 any longer, and, if shared libraries are installed there as well, no
  78 more binaries exist that use them.
  79
  80    <p>There are also some <a href="old.html">old installation instructions</a>,
  81 which are mostly obsolete but still contain some information which has
  82 not yet been merged into the main part of this manual.
