Oh gosh. Now you're asking. I didn't do 3.0, I just helped start and 
test it. But I did do both 2.x versions.

After the GCC 4.6 bug that David K reported, we ended up jumping from 
10.04 (which is I think LilyDev 1.x) to 11-dot-something which contained 
the 4.6 fix and so a GCC that worked.

The only thing I had to manually build was fontforge, astyle and apt-get 
the Cyrillic package.

But I don't remember having to do anything else specific for GCC.

Yes it does come with synaptic. When you fire it up from the 
administration menu list, it will prompt you for root password. After 
that it's pretty easy to figure out.

However if you have LilyDev 1.1 it might be that your repos have not 
been updated (may not be either), so you might have to compile it and 
that would then mean a lot of mucking about I expect.

sudo apt-get upgrade gcc -s

see what that does - that according to the help would show what it would 
do if you ran it (simulation mode).
