43<a name="index-Downloading-GCC-1"></a><a name="index-Downloading-the-Source-2"></a>
44GCC is distributed via <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html">SVN</a> and FTP
45tarballs compressed with <samp><span class="command">gzip</span></samp> or
46<samp><span class="command">bzip2</span></samp>.
47
48   <p>Please refer to the <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">releases web page</a>
49for information on how to obtain GCC.
50
51   <p>The source distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java,
52and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers, as well as
53runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, Fortran, and Java. 
54For previous versions these were downloadable as separate components such
55as the core GCC distribution, which included the C language front end and
56shared components, and language-specific distributions including the
57language front end and the language runtime (where appropriate).
58
59   <p>If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
60installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your
61OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or
62a separate one.  In the latter case, add symbolic links to any
63components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler
64(<samp><span class="file">bfd</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">binutils</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">gas</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">gprof</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">ld</span></samp>,
65<samp><span class="file">opcodes</span></samp>, <small class="dots">...</small>) to the directory containing the GCC sources.
66
67   <p>Likewise the GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries can be automatically built
68together with GCC.  Unpack the GMP, MPFR and/or MPC source
69distributions in the directory containing the GCC sources and rename
70their directories to <samp><span class="file">gmp</span></samp>, <samp><span class="file">mpfr</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">mpc</span></samp>,
71respectively (or use symbolic links with the same name).
