Description Lukas Oliva 2007-01-14 08:33:13 UTC

gcc-config produces the output where it reports the default compilers for localhost and cross compilation by color of an asterisk. Unfortunately it color is not explained in any /usr/share/doc file nor man or info page or when executing with --help. It would be fine if it will be explained somewhere.

Reproducible: Always

proposed manpage for gcc-config

I took a look at the code of gcc-config and the output of the -h parameter to write a manpage.

PS: I wrote this manpage in the context of an university course:
