 ## Build the RISC-V GCC
 
-In fact, now you can find some prebuild GCC : <br>
+To compile the Riscv GCC :
+
+```sh
+# Be carefull, sometime the git clone has issue to successfully clone riscv-gnu-toolchain.
+sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev curl libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev libgmp-dev gawk build-essential bison flex texinfo gperf libtool patchutils bc zlib1g-dev -y
+
+git clone https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain riscv-gnu-toolchain
+cd riscv-gnu-toolchain
+git checkout bf5697a
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+
+sudo mkdir /opt/riscv32im
+sudo chown $USER /opt/riscv32im
+
+mkdir build; cd build
+../configure --with-arch=rv32im --prefix=/opt/riscv32im
+make -j$(nproc)
+cd ..
+
+sudo mkdir /opt/riscv32i
+sudo chown $USER /opt/riscv32i
+
+rm -rf build
+mkdir build; cd build
+../configure --with-arch=rv32i --prefix=/opt/riscv32i
+make -j$(nproc)
+```
+

+Else you can use a prebuild GCC : <br>

+The VexRiscvSocSoftware makefiles are expecting to find this prebuild version in /opt/riscv/__contentOfThisPreBuild__ . You will also have to set the SIFIVE_GCC_PACK environnement variable to yes to make it working with the VexRiscvSocSoftware.
+
+Note : It look like that this prebuild pack has performances issues with the dhrystone benchmark, so i don't realy recommand to use it.
