GNU Compiler Collection: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:55, 18 March 2024

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is part of the GNU toolchain and includes front ends for C and C++.

Installation

Other available front-ends are:

Old versions

Old versions of GCC may be useful for historical curiosity, old projects that cannot be compiled on the current versions, or for testing the compatibility of projects:

GCC 4.3: gcc43^AUR
GCC 4.4: gcc44^AUR
GCC 4.5: gcc45^AUR
GCC 4.6: gcc46^AUR
GCC 4.7: gcc47^AUR
GCC 4.8: gcc48^AUR
GCC 4.9: gcc49^AUR
GCC 5: gcc5^AUR
GCC 6: gcc6^AUR
GCC 7: gcc7^AUR
GCC 8: gcc8^AUR
GCC 9: gcc9^AUR
GCC 10: gcc10^AUR
GCC 11: gcc11^AUR
GCC 12: gcc12

Other front-ends for old versions of GCC may be found on the official repositories and the AUR by searching for gcc<version_without_period>, e.g. searching for gcc9 for GCC 9 front-ends.

Tip: Use the CC (for C)[1] and CXX (for C++)[2] environment variables to specify which version of GCC will be used with e.g make or cmake. For example:

$ export CC=gcc-12 CXX=g++-12
