Help with installing gnu gcc 4.9

[rtz1234]

So i started reading C++ primer 5th edition and the book says that they used the gnu compiler.

I was wondering if there is an executable installer for this compiler because I'm getting really confused trying to follow the install instructions.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Windows:
ftp://ftp.equation.com/gcc/gcc-4.9.0-64.exe
ftp://ftp.equation.com/gcc/gcc-4.9.0-32.exe (32-bit)

FreeBSD: as root cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc49/ && make install clean

What operating system are you using? If you are using Windows, you should use the MinGW branch (or derivatives) of GCC. Alternately, TDM-GCC is another option ( http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ ). Note that these are only 4.8.1 (or were, last I checked) - I think 4.9 is only for Linux at the moment.
