Hello! I am new to Linux and am getting used to working in the shell. I wanted to install the Gnu Compiler Collection and had planned on using the following commands to get it running.
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/AVR \
--target=avr --enable-languages="c,c++" \
--disable-nls
$ make
# make install
But I couldn't quite understand the function of the backslashes ('\'-marked them red here).
This is what it typed in the terminal
prasan@ubuntu:~/Downloads/gcc-4.7.0$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/AVR \
> --target=avr --enable-languages='c,c++" \
> --disable-nls
>
1. Is this right?
2. If so, can someone please tell me how to complete this set of instructions so that I could run configure file?
(This '>' keeps coming as I return signaling that I haven't terminated the command properly)
