====== GNU Development Tools ======

You can install many of the GNU development tools on MINIX.

===== GCC (GNU Compiler Suite) =====

You can install GCC via packman. You will also need to install binutils. If you are running MINIX 3.1.4 and above, you will also need to install the corresponding gcc-libs (e.g., gcc-4.1.1-libs) package.

You will need to add ///usr/gnu/bin// to your //$PATH//.

===== Other Development Tools =====

You can also install the following tools via Packman. They are very useful if you plan on building third-party 
programs via MINIX 3:

  * autoconf
  * automake
  * make
  * m4
  * bison
  * flex
  * gettext
  * readline
