-
-<p>Before configuring and compiling the LLVM suite (or if you want to use just the LLVM
-GCC front end) you can optionally extract the front end from the binary distribution.
-It is used for running the LLVM test-suite and for compiling C/C++ programs.  Note that
-you can optionally <a href="GCCFEBuildInstrs.html">build llvm-gcc yourself</a> after building the
-main LLVM repository.</p>
-
-<p>To install the GCC front end, do the following (on Windows, use an archival tool
-like <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-zip</a> that understands gzipped tars):</p>
-
-<ol>
-  <li><tt>cd <i>where-you-want-the-front-end-to-live</i></tt></li>
-  <li><tt>gunzip --stdout llvm-gcc-4.2-<i>version</i>-<i>platform</i>.tar.gz | tar -xvf
-      -</tt></li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>Once the binary is uncompressed, if you're using a *nix-based system, add a symlink for
-<tt>llvm-gcc</tt> and <tt>llvm-g++</tt> to some directory in your path.  If you're using a
-Windows-based system, add the <tt>bin</tt> subdirectory of your front end installation directory
-to your <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable.  For example, if you uncompressed the binary to
-<tt>c:\llvm-gcc</tt>, add <tt>c:\llvm-gcc\bin</tt> to your <tt>PATH</tt>.</p>
-
-<p>If you now want to build LLVM from source, when you configure LLVM, it will 
-automatically detect <tt>llvm-gcc</tt>'s presence (if it is in your path) enabling its
-use in test-suite.  Note that you can always build or install <tt>llvm-gcc</tt> at any
-point after building the main LLVM repository: just reconfigure llvm and 
-test-suite will pick it up.
-</p>
-
-<p>As a convenience for Windows users, the front end binaries for MinGW/x86 include
-versions of the required w32api and mingw-runtime binaries.  The last remaining step for
-Windows users is to simply uncompress the binary binutils package from
-<a href="http://mingw.org/">MinGW</a> into your front end installation directory.  While the
-front end installation steps are not quite the same as a typical manual MinGW installation,
-they should be similar enough to those who have previously installed MinGW on Windows systems.</p>
-
-<p>To install binutils on Windows:</p>
-
-<ol>
-  <li><tt><i>download GNU Binutils from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/">MinGW Downloads</a></i></tt></li>
-  <li><tt>cd <i>where-you-uncompressed-the-front-end</i></tt></li>
-  <li><tt><i>uncompress archived binutils directories (not the tar file) into the current directory</i></tt></li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>The binary versions of the LLVM GCC front end may not suit all of your needs.  For
-example, the binary distribution may include an old version of a system header
-file, not "fix" a header file that needs to be fixed for GCC, or it may be linked with
-libraries not available on your system.  In cases like these, you may want to try
-<a href="GCCFEBuildInstrs.html">building the GCC front end from source</a>.  Thankfully,
-this is much easier now than it was in the past.</p>
-
-<p>We also do not currently support updating of the GCC front end by manually overlaying
-newer versions of the w32api and mingw-runtime binary packages that may become available
-from MinGW.  At this time, it's best to think of the MinGW LLVM GCC front end binary as
-a self-contained convenience package that requires Windows users to simply download and
-uncompress the GNU Binutils binary package from the MinGW project.</p>
-
-<p>Regardless of your platform, if you discover that installing the LLVM GCC front end
-binaries is not as easy as previously described, or you would like to suggest improvements,
-please let us know how you would like to see things improved by dropping us a note on our
-<a href="http://llvm.org/docs/#maillist">mailing list</a>.</p>
