The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Fortran, Ada, Go and D as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++,...). GCC was originally written as the compiler for the GNU operating system. The GNU system was developed to be 100% free software, free in the sense that it respects the user's freedom. By default, gcc14 is built with: --enable-languages=ada,c,c++,d,fortran,go,lto,objc,obj-c++ This may be changed by nominating a subset of the default enabled languages as a comma separated list in the USER_LANGS environment variable when executing the SlackBuild e.g. USER_LANGS="ada,c,c++,fortran" bash gcc14.SlackBuild To use the new gcc14 compilers in preference to th defaults provided by Slackware 15.0, run the following commands: export CC=gcc-14.2.0 export CPP=cpp-14.2.0 export CXX=g++-14.2.0 export AR=gcc-ar-14.2.0 export NM=gcc-nm-14.2.0 export RANLIB=gcc-ranlib-14.2.0 export PATH=/opt/gcc14-14.2.0/bin:$PATH or source the appropriate /etc/default/gcc14.{sh,csh} file.
