gcc(1) is used as the system C, C++ compiler. It's not supplied as a
separate package as such, but integrated into the system sources. See
for instance:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/gcc/
ie. You get gcc as a standard part of what's install from disc1 or
=66rom the mini-iso disk images.
Note that the version of gcc supplied depends on which version of the
OS you choose. FreeBSD 4.x (either -STABLE or any of the recent
-RELEASE versions) comes with gcc 2.95.4, whereas FreeBSD-5.x comes
with gcc-3.2.2.
You can always install a more recent version of gcc from the ports
collection:
eg. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/lang/gcc32/pkg-descr ---
there are several version available in ports including the bleeding
edge gcc-3.3 development version. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
for an explanation of how ports/packages work and how you can use them
to install software.
However, most ports / packages are not included in the FreeBSD iso
images available to download. If you purchase a 4xCD set from
FreeBSDMall or DaemonNews CDs 3 and 4 will consist of precompiled
packages you can install.
Cheers,
Matthew
