How to install latest gcc on Linux Mint 18 (18.3)
These commands are based on a askubuntu answer http://askubuntu.com/a/581497 and https://askubuntu.com/questions/26498/choose-gcc-and-g-version | |
To install gcc-7 (gcc-7.2.0), I had to do more stuff as shown below. | |
USE THOSE COMMANDS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING. | |
ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. | |
If you are still reading let's carry on with the code. | |
sudo apt-get update && \ | |
sudo apt-get install build-essential software-properties-common -y && \ | |
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y && \ | |
sudo apt-get update && \ | |
sudo apt-get install gcc-snapshot -y && \ | |
sudo apt-get update && \ | |
sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7 gcc-6 g++-6 gcc-multilib -y && \ | |
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 70 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7 && \ | |
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-6 && \ | |
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5 -y && \ | |
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 50 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5; | |
When completed, you must change to the gcc you want to work with by default. Type in your terminal: | |
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc | |
To verify if it worked. Just type in your terminal | |
gcc -v | |
If everything went fine you should see gcc 7.2.0 by the time I am writing this gist | |
Happy coding! | |
