42<h1 class="settitle">Installing GCC</h1>
43The latest version of this document is always available at
44<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/">http://gcc.gnu.org/install/</a>. 
45It refers to the current development sources, instructions for
46specific released versions are included with the sources.
47
48   <p>This document describes the generic installation procedure for GCC as well
49as detailing some target specific installation instructions.
50
51   <p>GCC includes several components that previously were separate distributions
52with their own installation instructions.  This document supersedes all
53package-specific installation instructions.
54
55   <p><em>Before</em> starting the build/install procedure please check the
56<a href="specific.html">host/target specific installation notes</a>. 
57We recommend you browse the entire generic installation instructions before
58you proceed.
59
60   <p>Lists of successful builds for released versions of GCC are
61available at <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html</a>. 
62These lists are updated as new information becomes available.
63
64   <p>The installation procedure itself is broken into five steps.
65
66     <ol type=1 start=1>
67<li><a href="prerequisites.html">Prerequisites</a>
68<li><a href="download.html">Downloading the source</a>
69<li><a href="configure.html">Configuration</a>
70<li><a href="build.html">Building</a>
71<li><a href="test.html">Testing</a> (optional)
72<li><a href="finalinstall.html">Final install</a>
73        </ol>
74
75   <p>Please note that GCC does not support &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">make uninstall</span></samp>&rsquo; and probably
76won't do so in the near future as this would open a can of worms.  Instead,
77we suggest that you install GCC into a directory of its own and simply
78remove that directory when you do not need that specific version of GCC
79any longer, and, if shared libraries are installed there as well, no
80more binaries exist that use them.
81
82   <p>There are also some <a href="old.html">old installation instructions</a>,
83which are mostly obsolete but still contain some information which has
84not yet been merged into the main part of this manual.
