Downloading and installing a very old version of gcc
I would like to acquire a very old version of gcc: 4.4.3 and set it up in such a way that I can use the
command to switch between my current version and the older version. I believe I may have found a website where I can download 4.4.3 from. However, I am not sure what all I need from that website or where exactly I should be installing too. If I search my kernel for gcc it would seem my current version is a symbolic link located @
and is linked to Folder
There are actually three folders in that directory: 7, 7.3.0 and 8 (empty folder).
So I am hoping someone might be able to help me understand both what I should be downloading and where I should be unpacking it such that I can run the command:
to select which version of gcc I want my computer to default to for a compilation. Also, if this is not the right website to download from, then where would be the correct place to download gcc version 4.4.3 from. I would start tinkering but I certainly dont want to break anything.
The usual problem is that this "update-alternatives" command may not have existed when 4.4.3 was being used and hence nobody has integrated it into your distro that way.
The version of update-alternatives is 1.19.0.5 and my distribution is Ubuntu 18.04. If I can't use the update-alternatives command maybe I could just make a symbolic link for gcc and switch them manually in a terminal? I also have another distribution on this computer: Ubuntu 16.04.
