Installing gcc 4.1.1

[Thomas Wieckowski]

Hello, I would like to install gcc4.1.1 onto Tru64 5.1B. Would prefer binaries to install, but unable to locate any. Going out to http://gcc.gnu.org does not really lend to specific TRU64 installation instructions.
Could anyone lend any Installation steps involved? Thanks in advance for all your help

Here you can find binaries for TRU64 probably in rpm format:

I haven't tried anything newer than 3.4.6,
but I just followed the steps shown at:

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/index.html

Probably with a "CC=cc" on the "configure"
step the first time.

This is GNU stuff. The best case is when you
_don't_ see any OS-specific instructions.

I normally follow this hint:

If you are short on disk space you might
consider `make bootstrap-lean' instead.

And does anyone know what's in "GNUPro Tools
V1.0 (109.3 MB)", or would one need to
install it to find out?

Well, except for a couple of things.

Checking my notes, I see that I needed to
install GNU "bison" to get past some problems
using the Tru64 yacc. Also, the Tru64 "make"
failed, so I had to use GNU "make". But
otherwise, it just worked. (What could go
wrong?)
