| This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). | |
| The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose | |
| names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and | |
| some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the | |
| individual source files for details. | |
| The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information | |
| as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is | |
| gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details | |
| of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. | |
| See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it | |
| includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable | |
| version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. | |
| See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. | |
| Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range | |
| notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, | |
| inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed | |
| individually. |
