Installation

Binary Distributions

If you download a binary tarball from the Download page and untar it, you’ll get a directory that looks like this:


After you install ELLCC the first time or if you move the ellcc directory to another location, a few configuration files have to be updated. You can update the files by going into the ellcc directory and running the script called ellcc with the install argument:

[test@main ~]$ cd ~/ellcc
[test@main ~/ellcc]$ ./ellcc install

Now you’re ready to build a test program. You might want to visit Using ELLCC.

Other Packages

While you’re here you might want to install run-time libraries for cross targets if you intend to cross compile programs:

[test@main ~/ellcc]$ ./ellcc install libraries
