How to install C compiler on Linux 2.6.14.3

[manfree]

Hi all,

I am using the version of Linux 2.6.14.3
and found that there is no C/GCC compiler on this platform
no RPM command as well

This is imposible to install another Linux platform.
As this Linux is built-in on a hardware device as a default ....

Is there a way to install the C compiler here?
Thanks
manfree

There is no compiler on the platform and no RPM to install stuff, so usually you would compile from source on this but you can't since you have no compiler. If you have another machine, as long as it is the same architecture you should be able to either build GCC on that and copy it and the libraries over to this machine or you could copy the binaries from a machine that already has them installed possibly, but this would probably be more difficult.

yum -y groupinstall 'development tools'

It is unlikely that yum is installed if RPM is not, since yum uses RPM to install the files.

this Linux is built-in on a hardware device

What kind of device is it?

[manfree]

A Cisco router module

Have you checked the net to see if someone has
already created alternative firmware for it?
Without a compiler or a package manager, you would have to
get the source code and try to cross compile the software
on another platform.

u should use gcc source for installation
