GCC 8.1 binary for Raspberry Pi

GCC 8.1.0 for Raspberry Pi, enabled languages C and C++. The compilers should work with all current versions of Pi. You can read more about how I compiled GCC at https://solarianprogrammer.com/2017/12/07/raspberry-pi-raspbian-compiling-gcc/ and you can repeat the process yourself if you wish to recreate the binary on your Pi.

How to use:

• Extract the archive, it is a .tar.bz2 file:

#!console

tar xf gcc-8.1.0.tar.bz2

• Copy/move gcc-8.1.0 to /usr/local/gcc-8.1.0:

#!console

sudo mv gcc-8.1.0 /usr/local

• Add the above to your path:

#!console

export PATH=/usr/local/gcc-8.1.0/bin:$PATH

• Now, you should be able to use the compilers: gcc-8.1.0 for C and g++-8.1.0 for C++.

• If you want to permanently add the compilers to your path, append the export line to the end of your .bashrc file:

#!console

echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/gcc-8.1.0/bin:$PATH' >> .bashrc
source .bashrc

Note:

GCC 7.2.0 in this repo for people that also need a Fortran compiler. gcc-7.2.0.tar.bz2 contains gcc-7.2.0, g++-7.2.0, gfortran-7.2.0.
