Linux GNU C/C++ [HJ release] Introduction ------------ This is GNU C/C++ 2.3.3. It is linked with jump table 4.2. You should use it with the Linux C library disks since the C/C++ compiler has no shared images, which are required by all the binaries in it. It consists of 2 xia filesystem disks, which will fit on either 5.25" or 3.5" floppies. It is on tsx-11.mit.edu under pub/linux/GCC/gccdisk Distribution File Format ------------------------ There are two files, each of which goes on one disk. A. Disk 1 (gcc233a.z) This contains gcc, cpp and cc1. There are also some header files in /usr/include and /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.3.3/include. B. Disk 2 (gcc233b.z) This disk contains cc1plus. Installing on the Hard Drive ---------------------------------------- 1. uncompress gcc233[a|b].z with gzip. 2. rawrite or dd each file to a formatted floppy disk. Now you have made a copy of gcc 2.3.3 on two floppies. To copy each floppy to your hd, you should mount the floppy and copy its contents to your hard drive. You can do this by: mount -t xiafs /dev/fd[0|1] /mnt cd /mnt for d in bin dev etc usr do if [ -d $d ]; then cp -av $d / fi done Note: This may overwrite some files on your hard disk. Thanks.
