installing gcc

installing gcc

[community help]

Hi,

I have mandrake 10.0 running on my pc and i have no
CDs for installing gcc. Now i want to download it and
install it. I am asking for the simplest way of doing
this. An url describing in detail what i should do
will be surely of great help. I'm new to Linux so the
more detailed the document more better.

Thank you

RE: installing GCC

[Atwood, Robert C]

I thought the OP simply did not realize that a C compiler is necessary
to build the gcc!
 
I think the OP might find that other packages that are required might
also be missing in a CD-sized distribution, and hopefully this project's
Prerequisites page is up-to-date and inclusive enough.
 

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html 

(it does mention that a C compiler is necessary,  and gives some more
detail about which type of C compiler, I see) 

Indeed though I'm not really  a newbie anymore to the variosu
distributions, having used several, I still find it sometimes confusing
to figure out what the name of the PACKAGE that contains a certain
program or utility actually is, especailly when several utilities are
rolled into one package (like "build-essential").

But, most distros have some sort of package searching web utility. 

Debian and friends (no doubt including Ubuntu) have an 'apt-get
build-dep' and, probably, issuing (as root or via sudo) 'apt-get
build-essential' and  'apt-get build-dep gcc' should pull all the
necessary tools to build the version of gcc that is included in the
distro. If these dependencies differ between that version and the one
the user is actually trying to build, then the user must address these
differences.

I've been using plain Debian but also pure:dyne (debian-derived cd or
usb live distro for music and visual art) and indeed gcc got left off
that one though it is nto clear to me if that was intentional or not!  (
a recent pre-release had a BROKEN gcc due to incomplete or incorrect
dependency specifications, for example)

Re: installing GCC

[Florent DEFAY]

The desktop CD of Ubuntu contains the package build-essential.

While having the CD in the CD drive, open a terminal and

sudo apt-get install build-essential

This will install GCC for many languages (C, C++, ...) and other
essential tools (make, ...) to build programs.

Click the package "gcc" and "mark for installation".

Yeah, and Ubuntu comes as standard with a very cut-down installer that'll
fit on a CDR, so you have to install most packages afterwards.  At least,
it's only a CD image that I see on their getubuntu page.

Re: installing GCC

[dan hitt]

Hi Robert,

I think the issue is that for somebody new to ubuntu, it is
very, very surprising that there's no compiler.  It certainly
was to me.

And the answer to your reasonable question can be either:
(1) that whoever is doing it does not yet know the
 command sequence
         sudo apt-get install gcc
(2) that whoever is doing it has a lousy internet connection, so
that these apt-get commands take so long they are not really
feasible.

(And even though this is getting afield from gcc, ubuntu is free
software, and it is popular, so it comes up.)

RE: installing GCC

[Atwood, Robert C]

Exactly why don't you install via apt-get gcc ???


You need gcc (or some C compiler)  to build gcc!
If it's not installed, you cannot build anything from source

 Then once you've built the source version you could  remove the default
one.

Ubuntu seems to have the problem complained by e-karim.
I met the same problem some days before.
Why not just use Fedora(8, i recommend) instead?

The point is that you must select the optional gcc installation.  It's
difficult to believe there isn't such an option.  After all, others are
using Ubuntu, in spite of its defects.  Maybe you should go to an Ubuntu
help forum.

[e-karim]

Hi!
I'm trying to install gcc from sources on ubuntu 8.10, while trying to
configure (./configure) Ubuntu tells me that gcc don't find the C compiler,
now my question is what is the default C compiler coming with ubuntu ?
and how can i process the installation from sources?

thank u!

You should install cygwin or mingw (or better use those compilers
included in those packages). (http://www.cygwin.com/ or www.mingw.org/)
configure is not an executable file, it is shell script (something like
.bat files in windows but on steroids).

Just my thoughts, use some virtualization application to load linux (or
 BSD variants) under the windows and cross compile there (you'll find
free for windows from Microsoft or VMware).

[lachlanp]

I have never used Gcc before and I am trying to install it on Windows XP and
having problems understanding the process

I have downloaded the source files for V4.1.1 and I refer to the directory it
creates.

The installation notes seem to state I should do a configuration like
?configure --prefix=C:\gccwin? to set the object directory to gccwin (the
name of the directoy I have chosen). There is a file called configure but this
is not an executable file so this process does not work. I tried this throug
the DOS window.

I understand the next thing to do is to ?make boostrap? but again there is
no executable file called ?make?.

Can you point me in the correct direction to start this process of building a
native Gcc complier before I build a cross complier. I have read all the
install instructions but cant comprehned them.

Thanks

Thank you for your rapid answer. I tried to type "urpmi gcc", but the 
computer's reply was "command not found". Regrettably, the rest of your 
instructions were too advanced to me, I don't know what a "binary package" is 
and how it works, the same goes for "GUI package selection tool".
      Probably "distro" means "distribution", but what my distribution uses to 
install packages I don't know and I don't know how to find out.
      From the end of your letter I realize that it will be impossible for me 
to install gcc - all that remains is to throw in the towel.

Yours sincerely

The instructions on the gcc web page are for building gcc from source. 
The vast majority of users do not need to do this because their
distribution/OS vendor includes gcc binary packages.  For Mandrake you
should be able to just type something like "urpmi gcc" and be done with
it.  There also might be a GUI package selection tool that you could
use, I don't know.  Regardless, you run whatever it is your distro uses
to install packages and just select the gcc package.

Note that packages are usually modular by language, so if you want more
than just the C compiler you may have to also select e.g. "gcc-c++",
"gcc-java", etc. in addition to the main gcc package.

These steps for installing packages are not listed on the gcc.gnu.org
website (nor could they be) because the details of how to do this varies
with each platform/distro, and there are literally hundreds of distros
out there in the wild.  It would be impossible to cover all of them, and
besides, the gcc project (and/or the FSF) have no control over these
packages, they are created by third parties.

 As the matter of fact the FSF "install" can mean "build"  or  "producing
from sources"...  This then comes from the assumption  about everyone
wanting to build from sources, never "installing" any binaries!  So every
person wanting Linux of course produces it from its pristine sources! And
never uses anything like your "Mandrake Linux 10.1", that is right from
the ass because it means installing prebuilt binaries!

 After reading the previous you should understand what the basic idea is!

 Ok, for all sanity it could be expected that "GCC for Linux" could be 
something
like "Mozilla Firefox for Linux", something which should work on every Linux
which meets the minimum specifications like "having glibc-2.2".  Or the C
library could come with the GCC, partly duplicating what people have in 
their
'/lib' and '/usr/lib' as "runtime libraries"...  Unfortunately this 
hasn't been the
case but every Linux distro comes with its own "custom" GCC, called "native
GCC", which cannot easily be copied from a Linux to another Linux....

 So your best choice is to try find all the available "GCC" RPMS for 
Mandrake
and install one of these using the 'rpm' package manager....

Installing gcc

Hi, I hope you can help me with a very embarassing question.  I only
have experience installing programs in Linux using package managers
and auto-update utilities.  I want to install gcc 3.2.3, but I can
only find the *.gz and *.bz2 files.  What do I do with all of these
files?
 
How can I find out where the version of gcc I already have installed
is so I can install these files in the same place?  Do I really need
to use gzip on each of these files?  Thank you for your time!

Re: Installing gcc

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

Dan Falabella <danf@sun2.albright.edu> asks on Thu, 4 Aug 2005
20:59:15 -0400 (EDT) about bootstrapping a build of gcc onto a Sun
Solaris 9 system where there is no C compiler installed yet.

There are a couple of ways to deal with this: Sun now has a fair
amount of free software tools that get installed in /usr/sfw/bin and
/opt/sfw/bin, among them, gcc.  You can find the needed links at

	http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/
	http://solaris-x86.org/software/freeware.mhtml
	ftp://x86.cs.duke.edu/pub/solaris-x86/bins/index.html

There are versions available for both Solaris 9 and 10; I don't have
any installed on our Solaris 7 or 8 systems.

A second way is to get a prebuilt gcc binary distribution from the
Solaris package archive at

	http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/

Once you have a fairly recent gcc installed, you MIGHT be able to use
it to build a newer version of gcc.  I've done hundreds of such builds
of the 3.x and 4.x series on 20+ flavors of Unix, and frankly, I'm
very disappointed in the success rate, which is far poorer than it was
with the 2.9x series.  On my Solaris 9 SPARC systems, I have gcc-3.3
installed. On Solaris 10 SPARC, gcc-3.3.6, and Solaris 10 x86, gcc-3.3

Installing gcc

[Dan Falabella]

 
 Hello,
 
  
 
             I am having trouble installing gcc on my Solaris 9 system. When
 I read the installation instructions, they state that one must designate the
 CC compiler in order for the configuration to work properly. I know that the
 " /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed " is an
 expected error message since there is no compiler installed with the Solaris
 system, but how does one get around it? In other words, in trying to build
 the gcc compiler I am being asked to supply a compiler. I realize that this
 has probably been asked many times in the past, but any suggestions as to
 how to complete the install would be greatly appreciated.
 
  
 
             Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I've just installed gcc3.3.2 in mandrake 10.0. I used
the binary available at gcc.gnu.org.
There is docs about building from sources but not
about installing from binary. Any way during the
installation process i had no error messages. I just
to know how to use gcc now.
i added to the .bash_profile os user but it does not
work. Please tell me how to do in detail what to do as
i'm not very familiar with linux.

Thanks

You need a C compiler to build GCC.  If you don't have one, you may
need to get a pre-compiled GCC to bootstrap.  There are links to
providers of pre-compiled versions of GCC at gcc.gnu.org.

Installing GCC

[Amy Roberts]

I tried to build gcc on my company's Solaris 2.6 machine. It seems like the
code is incompatible with the Sun compiler. The result is shown below. The
same result was obtained no matter what version of gcc was used. What is odd
is that when I run the configure script it says that it is indeed
configuring for host Solaris 2.6.

And the compiler error occurs on this segment in argv.c with line 97 being

        freeargv (copy); 
        return NULL; 
      } 
    strcpy (copy[argc], argv[argc]); 
  } 
copy[argc] = NULL; 
return copy; 
} 

Apparently the compiler which is a C++ compiler does not like the C style
function declarations. such as the one above. Is there a way to get around
this?

Re: installing gcc

[Yung Kwong Wing]

Thanks.  Oh now I have finally found the make program on my RedHat 6.2
CD-ROM.  It comes in a RPM, make-3.78.1-4.i386.rpm.   I have installed the
"make" rpm and have also installed egcs-1.1.2-30.i386.rpm and it have
managed to create the Makefiles necessary for first step of Apache 1.3.6
installation.

Thanks for all of your help.

Now I just hope I can finish the compilation, and installation parts of
Apache. 

Peter

It's usually part of a ``development'' installation of most operating
systems, but you can always get GNU make from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make

AFAIK, it doesn't need another `make' to build, there's a fallback
shell-script somewhere in the distribution.

thanks for your answer.  But may I ask how do I get the "make" program?

Apparently, you don't have a `make' program.  It's not part of GCC.

installing gcc

[Yung Kwong Wing]

Hi,

I am trying to install my Apache server (ver. 1.3.6).  Well, I have
installed the "egcs" rpm from my RedHat 6.2 CD-ROM, but when I try to
configure my Apache 1.3.6 by typing the following:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

I get an error message saying the following:

Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.6
 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
Creating Makefile
Creating Configuration.apaci in src
./helpers/TestCompile: make: command not found
Creating Makefile in src
 + configured for Linux platform
 + setting C compiler to gcc
 + setting C pre-processor to gcc -E
 + checking for system header files
 + adding selected modules
 + doing sanity check on compiler and options
** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration
** failed. This is most likely because your C compiler
** is not ANSI. Apache requires an ANSI C Compiler, such
** as gcc. The above error message from your compiler
** will also provide a clue.
 Aborting!

Isn't the "egcs" the correct package to install?
