Subject: [Bug web/53919] New: Version-specific install instructions not available
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:28:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-53919-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53919
Bug #: 53919
Summary: Version-specific install instructions not available
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: web
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: schnetter@gmail.com
The gcc web site does not seem to list version-specific install instructions.
This is inconvenient, since e.g. prerequisites or other details may differ
significantly between different versions.
<http://gcc.gnu.org/install/> shows install instructions, but these seem to
pertain to the (unreleased) trunk. Unfortunately, this fact is not even
mentioned.
<http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/> only has the manual, not the install
instructions.
The online install instructions should prominently mention that they are not
valid for any released version, and that one should download the release and
read those install instructions instead. Alternatively, the version-specific
install instructions should be added next to the online manual.
