Ubuntu – How to install g++ 4.4 on Ubuntu

g++ubuntu

There is a Debian g++-4.4 package,
but it's not Ubuntu. There are too many system-destroyed scary stories on the web.

How can I install g++ 4.4 on Ubuntu?

Best Solution

I recomend you install build-essential package that contains g++.

Type it in your terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

Then confirm installation.

you can use the special package "checkinstall" for all packages which are not even in debian/ubuntu yet.

You can use "uupdate" (apt-get install devscripts) to build a package from source with existing debian sources:

Example for libdrm2:

apt-get build-dep libdrm2
apt-get source libdrm2
cd libdrm-2.3.1
uupdate ~/Downloads/libdrm-2.4.1.tar.gz
cd ../libdrm-2.4.1
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc
