How do I get a copy of g++ for (some other platform)?
=====================================================

   As of gcc-2.7.x, there is Windows NT support in gcc.  Some special
utilities are required.  See the INSTALL file from the distribution.
If you're interested in GNU tools on Windows NT, see
`http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/' on the WWW, or the anonymous
FTP directory `ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32/'.

   The standard gcc/g++ distribution includes VMS support.  Since the
FSF people don't use VMS, it's likely to be somewhat less solid than
the Unix version.  Precompiled copies of g++ and libg++ in
VMS-installable form are available by FTP from
`ftp://mango.rsmas.miami.edu/pub/VMS-gcc/'.

   There are two different versions of gcc/g++ for MS-DOS: EMX and
DJGPP.  EMX also works for OS/2 and is described later.  DJGPP is DJ
Delorie's port.  It can be found on many FTP archive sites; try
`ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/vendors/djgpp/' or, for a complete list, see
`http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/getting.html'.

   The latest version of DJGPP is 1.12.maint4, a port of gcc-2.6.3 plus
support software.  This version runs under Windows 3.x.  There's also a
beta-2.00 version.

   FSF sells floppies with DJGPP on them; see above for ordering
software from the FSF.

   DJGPP has its own newsgroup: `comp.os.msdos.djgpp'.

   For information on Amiga ports of gcc/g++, retrieve the file
`ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/MicrosPorts/Amiga'
or write to Markus M. Wild <wild@nessie.cs.id.ethz.ch>, who I hope
won't be too upset that I mentioned his name here.

   A port of gcc to the Atari ST can be found at
`ftp://atari.archive.umich.edu/atari/Gnustuff/Tos' along with many
other GNU programs.  This version is usually the same as the latest FSF
release.  See the "Software FAQ" for the Usenet group
`comp.sys.atari.st' for more information.

   There are two different ports of gcc to OS/2, the so-called EMX port
(which also runs on MS-DOS), and a port called "gcc/2".  The latter
port is no longer supported, since the EMX port includes all of its
functionality.  The EMX port's C library attempts to provide a
Unix-like environment.  For more information ask around on
`comp.os.os2.programmer.misc'.

   The EMX port is available by FTP from

     ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/systems/os2/emx-0.9a
     ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/packages/os2/unix/emx09a
     ftp://ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/pub/comp/os/os2/devtools/emx+gcc

   Eberhard Mattes did the EMX port.  His address is
mattes@azu.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de.

   I'm looking for more information on gcc/g++ support on the Apple
Macintosh.  Until recently, this FAQ did not provide such information,
but FSF is no longer boycotting Apple as the League for Programming
Freedom boycott has been dropped.

   Versions 1.37.1 and 2.3.3 of gcc were ported by Stan Shebs and are
available at
`ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/mac'

   They are both interfaced to MPW.  Stan is working on a version using
the current (post-2.7) sources, contact him directly (shebs@cygnus.com)
for more information.
