Released by the Free Software Foundation, gcc is a *nix-based C compiler
usually operated via the command line. It often comes distributed with a *nix
installation, so if you are running Unix or a Linux variant you likely have it
on your system.
The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for
C,
C++,
Objective-C, Fortran,
Java, Ada, and Go, as well as libraries for these
languages (libstdc++, libgcj,...).
GCC was originally written as the compiler for the GNU operating system.
The GNU system was developed to be 100% free software, free in the sense
that it respects
the user's freedom.
We strive to provide regular, high quality
releases, which we want to work well on a variety
of native and cross targets (including GNU/Linux), and encourage everyone
to contribute changes or help
testing GCC.
Our sources are readily and freely available via
SVN and weekly
snapshots.
Major decisions about GCC are made by the
steering committee, guided by the
mission statement.
1. first, you need to install the gcc compiler. you can use DevC++ or MinGw. Download the compiler here :
DevC++
MinGw
2. after the install is complete, go to the folder where your compiler installation, then go to the folder "bin" and copy the URL.
example:
C:\Dev Cpp\bin\
or
C:\mingw\bin\
3. Go to "Computer" properties,
then select "advanced system settings", a new window will appear.
4.
in the "system variables", search variable named 'path', then click edit ...
5. In "Variable value",
add a semicolon (;) at the very back, and paste your Compiler URL... and then click OK..
6. Patching the GCC Compiler is successfully. now, tes your GCC.....
