+Of course, your first task is to [get the source of the Hurd](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/download.html). `gcc-3.3` requires CVS snapshot from 2003-05-08 or later.
 
 Building the Hurd requires `gcc`, `libc-dev` and `mig` packages:
 
-    # apt-get install gcc-3.2 make libc-dev mig
+    # apt-get install gcc-3.3 make libc-dev mig
+
+The reason for installing `gcc-3.3` but not just `gcc` is that currently `gcc` package doesn't exist in Debian GNU/Hurd archives. When this changes, so will this page.
 
 `libc-dev` will install `libc0.3-dev`, which depends on `gnumach-dev` and `hurd-dev`.
 
 The Hurd can be compiled in its directory, like this:
 
-    $ ./configure
+    $ CC=gcc-3.3 ./configure
     $ make
 
 but it's recommended to build it in separate directory because there are too many generated files and it becomes too crowdy in the source directories:

 By default profiling versions of all the libraries and code are generated but this is useless in most of the cases, so we disable them.
 
+As an alternative, you can build and install the Hurd in the Debian way (from CVS snapshot):
+
+    # apt-get build-dep hurd
+    # cd hurd
+    # dpkg-buildpackage
+    # cd ..
+    # dpkg -i hurd_*.deb hurd-dev_*.deb

 If you just want to build a specific server or library, you can pass its name to `make`:
 
     $ make ext2fs
