<title>Installation of GCC</title>

<para>
Install GCC by running the following commands. These commands will build
the C and C++ compiler. Other compilers are available within the gcc
package. If you want to build all the other availble compilers too,
leave out the --enable-languages=c,c++ option in the configure command.
See the GCC documentation for more details on which additional compilers
are available.
</para>

<para>
Note: the build of other compilers is not tested by the people 
who actively work on LFS.
