Downloading an Installer

If you have received Sourcery G++ Lite on a CD, or other physical media, then you do not need to download an installer. You may skip ahead to the section called “Installing Sourcery G++ Lite”.

If you have a Sourcery G++ Lite subscription (or evaluation), then you can log into the Sourcery G++ Portal to download your Sourcery G++ Lite toolchain(s). CodeSourcery also makes some toolchains available to the general public from the Sourcery G++ web site. These publicly available toolchains do not include all the functionality of CodeSourcery's product releases.

Once you have navigated to the appropriate web site, download the installer that corresponds to your host operating system. For Microsoft Windows systems, the Sourcery G++ Lite installer is provided as an executable, with the .exe extension. For GNU/Linux systems with an X Window System, Sourcery G++ Lite is provided as a graphical installer with the .bin extension. For Solaris, and GNU/Linux systems without an X Window System, Sourcery G++ Lite is provided as a compressed archive .tar.bz2. If installing on a RPM-based GNU/Linux system you may download the .rpm file.

On Microsoft Windows systems, save the installer to the desktop. On GNU/Linux and Solaris systems, save the download package in your home directory.
