I am used to redhat style package management, yum and all that.

I need to install GCC on this Thinkpad 600x. AntiX is working well.
I did an"apt-get install gcc" and it installed a couple of packages.
It also showed me a list of"suggested" packages. Is there
a shortcut to getting a working gcc? Or do I just go through the
list and install them all? I have about 7 Gig of disk.

I am trying to install some software which only comes by source.
The output of ./configure shows that it cannot find
crti.o, crtl.o

So, there must be a library or something that I am missing still.

Is there some way to use apt-get so that it will
install all the packages I need in order to compile something
using gcc?

Have you tried

Code: Select all

apt-cache show gcc
command yet.

For building from source.

Code: Select all

apt-cache show build-essential
assuming you do as root first

Code: Select all

apt-get update
to get the latest info available.

Booted up my old IBM A22m for another thread here. So I figured I'd post some readouts in this thread. You can also use Synaptic Package Manager which is a gui front end for apt to see what is needed instead of command line. Synaptic is pretty good at installing all dependencies also.

Description-en: Informational list of build-essential packages
 If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this
 package.  Starting with dpkg (>= 1.14.18) this package is required
 for building Debian packages.
 .
 This package contains an informational list of packages which are
 considered essential for building Debian packages.  This package also
 depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the
 build-essential packages installed.
 .
 If you have this package installed, you only need to install whatever
 a package specifies as its build-time dependencies to build the
 package.  Conversely, if you are determining what your package needs
 to build-depend on, you can always leave out the packages this
 package depends on.
 .
 This package is NOT the definition of what packages are
 build-essential; the real definition is in the Debian Policy Manual.
 This package contains merely an informational list, which is all
 most people need.   However, if this package and the manual disagree,
 the manual is correct.
