Set up GCC

==========

[![Test](https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-gcc/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-gcc/actions/workflows/test.yml)

This GitHub action sets up GCC in your workflow run.

1. Installs either 32-bit or 64-bit GCC on either Ubuntu or Cygwin.

2. Specify a version to install using the `version` parameter.

3. For installing GCC on Windows please see my action [setup-mingw].

[setup-mingw]: https://github.com/egor-tensin/setup-mingw

Use it in your workflow like this:

    - name: Set up GCC

      uses: egor-tensin/setup-gcc@v1

      with:

        version: latest

        platform: x64

* `latest` is the default value for the `version` parameter and can be omitted.

* `x64` is the default value for the `platform` parameter and can be omitted.

Use `x86` if you want to build 32-bit binaries.

* Set the `cygwin` parameter to `1` to set up GCC inside an existing Cygwin

installation (you can set up Cygwin itself using my action [setup-cygwin]).

* `cc` and `c++` executables are set up, pointing to the `gcc` and `g++`

executables.

Disable this by setting the `cc` parameter to `0`.

| version   | latest  | ✓       | Install the latest version available in the repository.

|           | *any*   |         | Install a specific version if it's available (see below).

| platform  | x64     | ✓       | Install the x86_64 toolchain.

|           | *any*   |         | Install the i686 toolchain.

| cygwin    | *any*   | ✓       | Install native binaries.

| cc        | 1       | ✓       | Set up `cc`/`gcc`/`c++`/`g++` executables.

|           | *any*   |         | Don't set up the executables.

| hardlinks | *any*   | ✓       | Cygwin: don't convert any symlinks.

Supported versions

------------------

Unless the `version` parameter value is "latest", the ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

PPA is used to make more versions available.

You can pass the version number as the `version` parameter value (`4.8`, `8`,

`9`, etc.), and this action will install the corresponding packages.

The `version` parameter value is not checked for being an available version for

the current distribution.

The supported versions for a particular distribution are those found in that

distro's repositories & those in the PPA.

For example, you can find the list of available versions as of January 2023

below.

| `version` | Bionic | Focal | Jammy

| --------- | ------ | ----- | -----

| 4.8       | ✓      |       |

| 5         | ✓      |       |

| 6         | ✓      |       |

| 7         | ✓      | ✓     |

| 8         | ✓      | ✓     |

| 9         | ✓      | ✓     | ✓

| 10        | ✓      | ✓     | ✓

| 11        | ✓      | ✓     | ✓

| 12        |        |       | ✓

This table should be updated periodically; it's a work-in-progress.

On Cygwin, the `version` parameter is ignored.
