SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (i586) Hi, I need to get an Eclipse C up and running on my SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (i586) Eclipse install went well, but I can't get the gcc-c compiler installed.
- How to install a specific version of GCC in Kali Linux? If I search on snapshot.debian.org for gcc, I get only very old. But doesn't this install whatever.
- To install this support in OpenSuSE 11.2 type. Sudo zypper install gcc44-32bit gcc-32bit libstdc44-devel-32bit The first two provide runtime support for the C language and the 32-bit version of libgcc, the GCC low level runtime library. The third provides the 32-bit version of libstdc, both the static import library and the dynamic library.
I have recently joined a research project at my university. Naturally, the code was written 2 years ago, and the PhD students who originally wrote the code haven't upgraded their machines since Fedora 8.This means that the libraries that they're using and the code they've written break with recent versions of gcc.
After spending several hours trying to debug the incompatible code, we concluded that it was more worthwhile to give up and get actual work done on the project rather than updating the code.So: I am trying to set up a test system which uses older versions of many packages, and I'm trying to figure out how to do this.My questions are twofold:.The code works in Fedora 8. Some googling showed me a few mirrors where I can find that. But before I install it - well, will I be able to do an install?
After installation, I will want to install gcc and other libraries - but only versions that were the 'latest' as of Fedora 8. In my case, that means gcc 4.3.1.Currently I have a Fedora 12 installation. My preference is to get gcc 4.3.1 working with that, rather than using Fedora 8. What is the best way for me to have the equivalent of yum -y install make gcc gcc-c kernel-devel 'as though I was using Fedora 8 repositories'?Ideally, I wouldn't have to download the gcc/libraries/header source code and build it all from scratch.How do I get 'old software' on a 'new distro'?

With packages like yum, its going to be a difficult game, your best bet is, as womble said, get a VM image of old redhat/fedora system, or make your system dual boot, install older OS on a separate partition.Now if you really want to try the nerd's way and have to install older gcc on your defora 12. I'll suggest:1. Make a empty directory, say newdirectory2. Try installng gcc through tarballs, and while running the configure script, add the -prefix flag to install it in your above created directory.3. Of course from there on, you'll need to satisfy tons of dependancies, upto libc level. All of them you'll have to install through tarballs in the said location with -prefix.4. Also make sure, your $LDLIBRARYPATH points to the newdirectory/lib, your $PATH picks up binaries from newdirectory/binhopefully with enough luck you should be able to achieve what you want.
