Gnu C 2.3.3 for VMS (note: later sources of GCC without vms mods are in the [.gnu] directory elsewhere on the tapes.) This distribution contains everything you need to install gcc 2.3.3, g++ 2.3.3 and/or libg++ 2.3 on a VMS system (previous versions of the distribution at mango were only contained compiler executables, and you had to load the gcc-vms distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu). The only prerequisite is a running VMS system (version 5.n), and sufficient disk space. Once gcc 2.n is out of beta testing, then the gcc-vms distribution on prep will be updated to contain the 2.n executables. The gcc 2.3.3/g++ 2.3.3 compilers and the libg++ distribution are all in compressed save sets that can be installed with VMSINSTAL. All you need to do is to pick up the parts you need, decompress them, and run VMSINSTAL. The kit parts are: gcc023.a_z Required. Only contains kitinstal.com, so that we get a fast startup with VMSINSTAL. gcc023.b_z gcc 2.3.3 compiler, preprocessor, header files compiler driver, and assorted goodies. gcc023.c_z bison gcc023.d_z g++ 2.3.3 compiler gcc023.e_z libg++ 2.3 distribution. gcc023.f_z Info files. For example, if you wanted gcc 2.3.3 and g++ 2.3.3, but were not interested in libg++ or bison, you would need parts a, b, d and f.
