2.5. Installing Sourcery G++ Lite Updates

If you have already installed an earlier version of Sourcery G++ Lite for Power EABI on your system, it is not necessary to uninstall it before using the installer to unpack a new version in the same location. The installer detects that it is performing an update in that case.

To update a previous RPM installation of Sourcery G++ Lite, use rpm -U instead of rpm -i, as described above.

If you are installing an update from a compressed archive, it is recommended that you remove any previous installation in the same location, or install in a different directory.

Note that the names of the Sourcery G++ commands for the Power EABI target all begin with powerpc-eabi. This means that you can install Sourcery G++ for multiple target systems in the same directory without conflicts.
