I am trying to unpackage "gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig.tar.gz." After reading 5 sites from Google to do the unpackage, I cannot figure it out.
Please tell me how to unpackage "gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig.tar.gz."
thanks

A:
tar xzvf gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig.tar.gz
for a gziped file (like .tar.gz)
and
tar xJvf gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig.tar.xz
for a file like .tar.xz

After I run your command (thank you, by the way), this folder now exists:gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig/gcc-4.4.3.tar.xz

@Cedric H.: `tar -xzvf gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig.tar.gz` I'd say. (you missed the `-` at the beginning, denoting a parameter)

Piskvor, I typed it in again very carefully. Same thing occurs:tar xzvf gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig.tar.gz creates a new directory and file: .....................................................gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig/gcc-4.4_4.4.3.tar.xz

@Piskvor: it works without the minus sign@Kevin: run the same command on the newly created file ?

@Cedric: error - output: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format \n tar: Child returned status 1 \n tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Ok sorry, try `tar xJvf ...`

Then you need something else to extract from that (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xz).But maybe you can download another clean gcc (http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html).

Nothing is wrong here. extracting gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig.tar.gz yields gcc-4.4_4.4.3.orig/gcc-4.4_4.4.3.tar.xz among other things. Just extract that too.

A:
i dunno where you got that file, but XZ extraction is:
tar Jxf gcc-4.4.3.tar.xz

your system is out of date and doesn't support XZ. go download an official tar.gz from gcc.org

A:
Instead of remembering the flag to select a compression type when extracting an archive, you can let GNU tar (version >= 1.20) autodetect it for you. Example:
tar xf archive.tar.gz
tar xf archive.tar.bz2
tar xf archive.tar.xz
The same thing of course works for listing an archive as well:
tar tf archive.tar.gz
tar tf archive.tar.bz2
tar tf archive.tar.xz
To create an archive, you can use the -a (or --auto-compress) flag, which makes tar use the file suffix to do the right thing:
tar caf archive.tar.gz file ...
tar caf archive.tar.bz2 file ...
tar caf archive.tar.xz file ...
