Gnu compilers

Gnu C/C++ compiler (gcc/g++)

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler system produced by the GNU Project supporting various programming languages. GCC is a key component of the GNU toolchain. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) distributes GCC under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). GCC has played an important role in the growth of free software, as both a tool and an example. Originally named the GNU C Compiler, because it only handled the C programming language, GCC 1.0 was released in 1987 and the compiler was extended to compile C++ in December of that year. Current Version: 4.4.7 Location: /usr/bin Documentation Files: Online documentation at the GCC Website. Alternative Version: 4.8.3 (newer, "use gcc-4.8.3")

Gnu Fortran compiler (gfortran)

Gfortran is the name of the GNU Fortran project, developing a free Fortran compiler for GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. The gfortran development effort uses an open development environment in order to attract a larger team of developers and to ensure that gfortran can work on multiple architectures and diverse environments. Current Version: 4.4.7 Location: /usr/bin Documentation Files: Online documentation at the GCC Website. Alternative Version: 4.8.3 (newer, "use gcc-4.8.3")
