I am intending to install gcc 3.0.2 onto a Solaris 2.8 operating system. I was
told to download the files needed from
ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.0.2/
Could somebody help me with the following questions relating to the instructions
on
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/download.html
a) In the instructions it states "The full distribution includes the C, C++,
Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and CHILL compilers" I only want the C compiler.
Which files exactly do I need to download to get only the C compiler?
b) In the instructions it states "If you choose to download specific components,
you must download the core GCC distribution". What does this mean?
c) Is there a specific location for me to download the files (eg. /var, /etc
....)
d) Does "unpacking" mean uncompressing? If so, where should the uncompressed
files go?
Many thanks
Kabir
