80<p>GCC is distributed via <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/git.html">git</a> and via
81HTTPS as tarballs compressed with <code>gzip</code> or <code>bzip2</code>.
82</p>
83<p>Please refer to the <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html">releases web page</a>
84for information on how to obtain GCC.
85</p>
86<p>The source distribution includes the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran,
87and Ada (in the case of GCC 3.1 and later) compilers, as well as
88runtime libraries for C++, Objective-C, and Fortran.
89For previous versions these were downloadable as separate components such
90as the core GCC distribution, which included the C language front end and
91shared components, and language-specific distributions including the
92language front end and the language runtime (where appropriate).
93</p>
94<p>If you also intend to build binutils (either to upgrade an existing
95installation or for use in place of the corresponding tools of your
96OS), unpack the binutils distribution either in the same directory or
97a separate one.  In the latter case, add symbolic links to any
98components of the binutils you intend to build alongside the compiler
99(<samp>bfd</samp>, <samp>binutils</samp>, <samp>gas</samp>, <samp>gprof</samp>, <samp>ld</samp>,
100<samp>opcodes</samp>, &hellip;) to the directory containing the GCC sources.
101</p>
102<p>Likewise the GMP, MPFR and MPC libraries can be automatically built
103together with GCC.  You may simply run the
104<code>contrib/download_prerequisites</code> script in the GCC source directory
105to set up everything.
106Otherwise unpack the GMP, MPFR and/or MPC source
107distributions in the directory containing the GCC sources and rename
108their directories to <samp>gmp</samp>, <samp>mpfr</samp> and <samp>mpc</samp>,
109respectively (or use symbolic links with the same name).
