[SOLVED] Install gcc-4.4.3 alongside

Hi. I need to build Android ICS, but it can be build only with gcc 4.4.x
I already struggled with make-3.81, python2, java6 requirement.
The last issue, I hope is gcc.
Now, building Android requires not only gcc-multilib, but 4.4.3 version.

How can I install it alongside not to mess the whole environment?
To configure it for a shell session, or project directory.

And even arch rollback machine no longer contains the 4.x versions.
Is the only way left is building it from source?

There's https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gcc44/ and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gcc44-multilib/

Thanks! I was searching for it in AUR by typing "gcc-4.4" "gcc4.4" "gcc-4.4.3" but wouldn't ever thought of gcc44.
Maybe I'll have some more questions about configuring tomorrow, if none I'll mark it as solved.

Re: [SOLVED] Install gcc-4.4.3 alongside

You could have searched for 'gcc', in package name only (not in the description).
I did

$ cower -sq ^gcc | grep 4
gcc-aarch64-linaro
gcc-aarch64-linaro-gnu
gcc-msp430
gcc34
gcc41
gcc42
gcc43
gcc43-multilib
gcc44
gcc44-multilib
gcc45
gcc45-multilib
gcc46
gcc46-multilib
gcc47
gcc4ti

Thanks. I wasn't aware of cower app and searched in aur.archlinux.org via web browser.
Now the question is, how to tell specific project to use specific version of gcc?
I haven't written the makefiles and there are lots of them in the project structure.

No idea. Google suggested e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3698 … c-in-linux
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4862 … -gcc-linux

Thank you very much, karol. The suggestion from stackoverflow worked. Looks like i'm always making up the wrong query when searching.
