             Bug #: 53919
           Summary: Version-specific install instructions not available
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: web
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: schnetter@gmail.com


The gcc web site does not seem to list version-specific install instructions.
This is inconvenient, since e.g. prerequisites or other details may differ
significantly between different versions.

<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/> shows install instructions, but these seem to
pertain to the (unreleased) trunk. Unfortunately, this fact is not even
mentioned.

<http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/> only has the manual, not the install
instructions.

The online install instructions should prominently mention that they are not
valid for any released version, and that one should download the release and
read those install instructions instead. Alternatively, the version-specific
install instructions should be added next to the online manual.
