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-2.7.2.tar.gz : for UNIX, <newline>s are [LF], Japanese are encoded in EUC-JP.
• mcpp-2.7.2.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.

• 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.
  The execution programs to be installed are all named mcpp. The 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-2.7.2\bin to the environmental variable PATH, or move mcpp-2.7.2\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-2.7.2 and mcpp.exe.
• Refer to the document mcpp-manual.html for the usage.
• From V.2.7.1 onward, each of port, rpm, deb, dmg installs library-build of mcpp and an executable which links the shared-library in it. On the contrary, zip for Windows installs stand-alone-build of mcpp, since Windows has not system's standard C library.

[Binary packages of each distribution] FreeBSD, Fedora/Linux, Debian/Linux, Ubuntu/Linux and OpenSUSE/Linux distributions provide mcpp binary packages for some CPUs as well as x86. Though they are the older versions, they will be gradually updated to V.2.7.2.

Note that, V.2.7.1 and onward, Fedora's rpm and Debian's deb (also Ubuntu's deb) packages are different from the rpm and deb on SourceForge. While each of rpm and deb on SourceForge is single package, each package of Fedora and Debian (Ubuntu) is divided into 4 sub-packages according to the packaging guideline of each system. On Fedora: mcpp, libmcpp, libmcpp-devel and mcpp-doc. On Debian (Ubuntu): mcpp, libmcpp0, libmcpp-dev and mcpp-doc. On either system, mcpp package depends on libmcpp (libmcpp0) package. So, if you install mcpp, libmcpp (libmcpp0) will be installed at the same time.

• FreeBSD 6.*, 7.* and 8-current provide V.2.7.2 packages for i386. FreeBSD 6.* provides V.2.7.2 for amd64. FreeBSD 7.* and 8 provide V.2.7.1 for amd64. FreeBSD 6.*, 7.* and 8 provide V.2.7.1 for sparc64. You can download them from FreeBSD port overview, and install it by pkg_add command.
  
• Fedora 8, 9 and 10 provide V.2.7.2 packages for i386, x86-64, ppc and ppc64. You can fetch and install them simply by yum install mcpp, or by yum update if you have already installed a mcpp package of the older version.
• Though Debian provides many V.2.7.1 packages for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc, they are in the testing (lenny) distribution. They require different library version from that of Debian 4.0. The stable distribution (Debian 4.0) provides package of V.2.6.2.
• Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 provide packages of V.2.6.4 for i386 and amd64. Ubuntu 8.10 provides V.2.7.1 for i386 and amd64.
• OpenSUSE 10.3 and 11.0 provides packages of V.2.6.4 for i586, x86_64 and ppc.

In addition, some distributions provide configuration files to build packages, though they do not provide binary packages.

• MacPorts repository is not an official site of Apple, but provides Portfile of V.2.7.2 for Mac OS X / Tiger and Leopard.
• Gentoo Packages has libmcpp V.2.6.4 Portage files.
• Slackbuild 12.1 has Slackbuild of V.2.7.1 for Slackware 12.1.

mcpp V.2.7.2 was released on November 30th, 2008.
