Where can I get a gcc compiler to run under linux? I'm using the KDE desktop. Thanks for any information.

all linuxes that i am aware of ship with gcc
hello, internet!
Mine didn't. Its called Linux for Windows, it is a modified version of the Mandrake installation to install without losing windows or re-partitioning your hard drive. it has an option to standard install, but I'm too afraid to take that route. It came with one CD, the OS and some stuff to play with. Thats about it.
Any help on downloading and isntalling GCC? I'mnot familiar with linux hardly at all.

I lay on my bed watching the stars, and I thought to myself... Where the hell is my roof?
Okay, i found:
D:\Mandrake\RPMS\gcc-cpp-2.95.2-12mdk.i586.rpm
and its 98kb in size.
I looked at the GNU site and downloading what I thought was GCC, it was the source. So I suppose I'll have to do a search for the compiled binaries, like you stated. Was hoping someone knew of an official site of the gcc.
Actually, I remember the GNU site giving an FTP that they claimed was the binaries. I'll look into that more, maybe I just grabbed the wrong file on accident.
thanks.

You can also try Package Manager in KDE (GUI), if you want.I'm using the KDE desktop.
I myself prefer to one posted by vVv.
But it shouldn't be rpm -i D:\Mandrake\RPMS\gcc-cpp-2.95.2-12mdk.i586.rpm,
I think it should be rpm -i mounted_path_for_rpm_file_in_cdrom.
then ignore it. a linux with no gcc is no linux.Originally posted by Strut

It is a 'real' linux distro. Its linux mandrake 7.2. It seems to me to be a stripped down version though, just so you can see what linux is like. I plan to get RedHat 8.0 ASAP.

Yeah, I tried this once back when I was a newbie... it just puts Linux in a single file on your Windows partition. I had some problems installing stuff because it seems that a "Linux for Windows" installation limits Linux to 2 Gigs.Originally posted by face_master

I'd suggest a normal installation.
OS: Linux Mandrake 9.0
Compiler: gcc-3.2
Languages: C, C++, Java
If you go flying back through time and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.
Is that sort of like BeOS? But anyways if you cannot get gcc or g++ for your "linux" distro working right, I bet they have came out with Windows versions of these popular compilers.
DJGPP is a Windows version of gcc.
