86<p>GCC is distributed via <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/git.html">git</a> and via
87HTTPS as tarballs compressed with <code>gzip</code> or <code>bzip2</code>.
88</p>
89<p>Please refer to the <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">releases web page</a>
90for information on how to obtain GCC.
91</p>
92<p>The source distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran,
93and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers, as well as
94runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, and Fortran.
95For previous versions these were downloadable as separate components such
96as the core GCC distribution, which included the C language front end and
97shared components, and language-specific distributions including the
98language front end and the language runtime (where appropriate).
99</p>
100<p>If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
101installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your
102OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or
103a separate one.  In the latter case, add symbolic links to any
104components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler
105(<samp>bfd</samp>, <samp>binutils</samp>, <samp>gas</samp>, <samp>gprof</samp>, <samp>ld</samp>,
106<samp>opcodes</samp>, &hellip;) to the directory containing the GCC sources.
107</p>
108<p>Likewise the GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries can be automatically built
109together with GCC.  You may simply run the
110<code>contrib/download_prerequisites</code> script in the GCC source directory
111to set up everything.
112Otherwise unpack the GMP, MPFR and/or MPC source
113distributions in the directory containing the GCC sources and rename
114their directories to <samp>gmp</samp>, <samp>mpfr</samp> and <samp>mpc</samp>,
115respectively (or use symbolic links with the same name).
