How to get gcc?

[sdCA123]

Just installed 10.1 (first linux for me). I want to build some C code. But it seems that gcc doesn't come with the installation. Could you please let me know how to get gcc to work in Suse? Thanks!

Hi, whoever,

Just like you, I am also a linux starter. But I have gotten my hands on it. Though not completely.

1. Open YaST by SuSE Menu > System > YaST
2. Select Install and Remove Software.
3. When the screen appears, search gcc in the search box on the left of the window.
4. When the results appear, select all the unchecked packages and then Accept button from the bottom of the window.

Hope this works.

It does come with it but it is not installed by default. It is on the installation disk.

You can use Yast -Software-Software Maintenance


search for "gcc" and "make" install both also you might want to install the kernel souces it is probable that you will eventually need them also.

here is some help

Package Sources/10.2 - openSUSE-Community

I installed gcc by following your suggestions. It worked perfectly!

If you wanted the latest/an older version of it you could download it from your local GNU mirror.
