'gcc' Software

[Janet Casey <jcasey at gnu dot org>]

Hello! My name is Janet Casey and I'm working for the Free Software
Foundation assembling a database of free software world wide, which is
why I'm writing to you.

We have this address listed as the maintainer for this package. Can you take a
quick look through the information I've assembled to see if everything
is correct and if there's anything I should add? I'd appreciate it
greatly.



FYI- a short explanation of some of the fields.

Programs- any additional programs that come included with this one.
Interface- Command line, interactive, X windows, console
Support- listed only if it's something other than mailing list support
Repository- Any CVS repositories where the program is listed
Related- any GNU packages that might be of interest to users of this package
Use Requirements- Required for using the executable
Build Prereq.- Required for building this package
Weak Prereq.- Useful (but not mandatory) to install before building this one
Source Prereq.- 
Packages whose source code must be present in order to build this package.

Please bear in mind that not all packages will have all the fields
filled in (in fact, I don't think we've run across any yet that have
all the fields filled in).


If there's anything you think should be added (particularly
individuals who have contributed) please e-mail me.

Thank you very much for your help!



%%name: gcc

%%short-description: C compiler

%%full-description: The GNU Compiler Collection is a full-featured
ANSI C compiler with support for K&R C as well. GCC provides many
levels of source code error checking traditionally provided by other
tools (such as lint), produces debugging information, and can perform
many different optimizations to the resulting object code. The g++
compiler (for C++) has been put into its own package
