Building GCC: Difference between revisions

 

Now that you have a system compiler that is up to date, you can build your cross-compiler for your new operating system. You can use the latest and greatest version of GCC as your cross-compiler safely because you use the same version to build it. Once you have built the actual cross-compiler, you can uninstall the compiler we built in this tutorial by removing the installation directory. The cross-compiler will not depend on the compiler that built it, just like our new compiler doesn't depend on the old system compiler it replaced.
