Greetings I'm very much a Linux n00b, but am curious as to how to install gcc for the Xandros operating system.

Today, I got help from some friends on this subject; however, they installed the version of gcc for Debian (which I understand Xandros to be an offshoot of). Although a simple "hello world" compiles, it does not run in the normal fashion; what it does is simply displays the final few characters of the current working directory. I'm pretty sure this is the only problem I have, probably since (I think) the object code is meant for a completely different operating system.

If you could provide me with a mirror to the Xandros gcc download source, in addition to fairly comprehensive instructions for its installation (from the shell or otherwise), I will be VERY grateful.

Thanks for reading!
