[Solved] How to Install GCC

How to Install 'gcc' in Porteus XFCE v5.0 64-bit Linux?

I tried to Install it using 'slackpkg' command, but it's giving error: test.c:1:10: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
1 | #include <stdio.h>

Go to this link:

http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/port ... -devel.xzm

This module contains gcc and the other files needed to compile.

Put the module into your Porteus modules folder, or optional folder and activate it.

EDIT: The 05-devel.xzm is technically a base module and should probably be moved to the porteus/base folder with the others. If you don't want it to be activated on booting, you can keep it in the porteus/optional folder and activate it when you wish which is the method I use.

The 05-devel.xzm is technically a base module and should probably be moved to the porteus/base folder with the others. If you don't want it to be activated on booting, you can keep it in the porteus/optional folder and activate it when you wish which is the method I use.

Since 05-devel.xzm is a large module, you should better not put it in your base/ folder unless you will compile stuff every time you run Porteus.

@Sam007 Make sure the 05-devel.xzm is from the same version than your Porteus. Because all such modules are named identically. Thus could be from 5.0i586; or for 4.0x86-64; or for 5.0rc2_x86-64 etcetera.
In your case you should only use a version for v5.0_x86-64

E.g. when you updated your Port system (e.g. in your case: Porteus XFCE v5.0 64-bit) Yay, another XFCE user - as seen via

Code: Select all

cat /etc/porteus/*

then use an updated 05-devel.xzm as well if it exists. If no updated version of 05-devel exists (often it doesn't) then use the correct one as described above. HTH.
