Hi,

I dont have access to ubuntu.com,
And I am using Ubuntu 12.04 / 64 bit.
Need to compile some c++ code that says g++ missing.
Trying to compile gcc-4.8.1 but it fails with the following error.

configure: error: C++ compiler missing or inoperational
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-libcpp] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/me/Downloads/build_gcc/gcc-4.8.1'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/me/Downloads/build_gcc/gcc-4.8.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any suggestion instead of apt-get or yum.. ?

Thanks
Mannu

I'm not able to help with getting packages for Ubuntu when you do not have internet access, but....

Is this actually LFS related? I'm asking because I see this:

The bold parts suggest you are either not building an LFS system or you are not following the book.

Assuming this is LFS related: g++/c++ might not be the only thing that is missing (or wrong). Did you run the version check script in the Host System Requirements section?

I do have access to Internet, but I dont have access to ubuntu.com (Barred website in my connection).

Is there any other way, like downloading some tar file of g++ from some other website. So that I dont have to use apt-get or yum ?

Thanks

I am already aware of it that I don't have g++.
I need to install it.

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. It was/is not clear if this is LFS related. If it is other things might need changing/adding as well (besides g++).

There's also the issue of /home/me/Downloads/ versus $LFS/sources which might indicate this is _not_ LFS related.

Answer limited to g++ and Ubuntu: Can't you use the install cd/dvd you (presumably) used to install Ubuntu?

It is not an LFS.

I installed Ubuntu by using an ISO image. But thanks for your suggession. I think I'll get access to ubuntu.com and will install the missing package by using apt-get.

I've asked a moderator to move this thread as it is not LFS related.

If you have access to getting another ISO and disk, try using Slackware instead. It has everything included already to build LFS. Try this if you can't get access to Ubuntu's resources.
