You can get mcpp's source code from below. These archives include also Validation Suite and all the documents (both in English and in Japanese). The *.tar.gz and *.zip files are of the same contents, only differing in <newline> code and encoding of a Japanese document INSTALL-jp.

• mcpp-2.7.tar.gz : for UNIX, <newline>s are [LF], Japanese are encoded in EUC-JP.
• mcpp-2.7.zip : for Windows, <newline>s are [CR][LF], Japanese are encoded in shift-JIS.
• older versions

You can compile from the source all of the compiler-specific-builds for each compiler system, the compiler-independent-build, and the subroutine-build. After unarchiving the archive, please read INSTALL.

The binary packages of mcpp for some systems are provided here. Download one of these, if you want to try mcpp immediately without compiling.
All of these binary packages are, however, of the compiler-independent-build, not a compiler-specific-build to replace some resident preprocessor. They do not include more than half of the documents. The Validation Suite is not included. The binaries in this site are for x86 only, except dmg which is a "universal binary" for x86 and ppc.

There are binary packages as below, some of which have their corresponding source packages.

• Install port, rpm or deb using their specific commands such as pkg_add, rpm -i or dpkg -i, respectively.
  dmg is installed if you just click it on your web-browser. This binary package, however, does not provide a method for uninstallation. You are better to compile and install a binary by a command: sudo port install mcpp. mcpp was already committed to MacPorts repository.
  The execution programs to be installed are all named mcpp. The default prefix of the directory to install is /usr/local for port, /opt/local for dmg, and /usr for rpm and deb.
  On Linux, CygWIN, MinGW and Mac OS X, the system's standard headers have certain defects, and some workarounds are necessary for mcpp. Refer to mcpp-manual.html#3.9.9 for this problem.
• Unarchive zip in a directory into which you want to install mcpp. Then, add the directory mcpp-2.7\bin to the environmental variable PATH, or move mcpp-2.7\bin\mcpp.exe to one of the directories set in PATH. In addition, set the include directory to the environmental variable INCLUDE.
  When you uninstall mcpp, simply delete the directory mcpp-2.7 and mcpp.exe.
• Refer to the document mcpp-manual.html for the usage.

[Binary packages for CPU other than x86] FreeBSD and Fedora/Linux distributions provide mcpp 2.6.4 binary packages for some CPUs other than x86. mcpp 2.7 will be provided too, some time.

• FreeBSD 6.*, 7.* provide packages for amd64 and sparc64. You can download it from below, and install it by pkg_add command.
  FreeBSD port overview
• FedoraCore 6, Fedora 7 and Fedora 8 provide packages for x86-64, ppc, ppc64. You can fetch and install them simply by yum install mcpp.
• Though Debian/Linux provide many mcpp-2.6.4-2 packages for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc, they are in testing distribution and require different library version from that of Debian 4.0. The stable distribution for Debian 4.0 provides packages of mcpp-2.6.2-1.

mcpp V.2.7 was released in March 23, 2008.
