Recommended Compiling Tools
I need to compile some programs in linux mint 18 not available in the repos. Which essential tools are a minimum?
|
you need to say - at least - the language. Or what do you think, how can we suggest to compile "something"?
In general you need to install the package buid-essential. but in your case I have no idea... |
The gcc and gcc-c++ compilers as well as any other compiler programs that come with Mint 18
The development packages for all of the libraries and programs that are required by the programs you are compiling. Do you have a GUI package manager? That will help you enormously. Beyond that, download the source for the programs you want to compile and try to compile it. If anything is missing, the compile process should tell you want is missing. You will then have to get the missing pieces and again try to compile your programs, and keep repeating this process until you can get your programs compiled. |
Hi Sammy1243,
Welcome to LQ! If you install the gcc package, it should drag everything else you need in with it. |
As others have said, you should already have the tools that you need, but if not then you will find out what's missing during the compilation process and any missing packages will be easily installed.
Which packages are we talking about? |
apt-cache show build-essential
and in case you want to creat deb-packages apt-cache show devscripts apt-cache show debhelper https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/In...ebianPackaging |

Install with, say, "apt-get install ..." And there are other, unrelated, languages and compiler systems for Linux also. |
