Question

Installing gcc 4.4.3 on Ubuntu 9.04

Answer 1

+1 A:

GCC is not that hard to compile, even if you do the entire bootstrap compile.

I'm sure it's not but I haven't compiled anything from source yet. Is there no other way?

Answer 2

+1 A:

You can build gcc 4.4.3 from source - http://gcc.gnu.org/install/

Or you can install from jaunty repository - http://packages.ubuntu.com/ru/jaunty/gcc

Add in your /etc/apt/sources.list - deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty main

Then

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gcc

Answer 3

+2 A:

try sudo apt-get install gcc=4.4.3

I'm not sure if that's the exact version, but that's how you specify which version you want.

It doesn't find that version in Ubuntu 9.04 unfortunately.

run `sudo apt-get update` first, if that doesn't do it, add the lucid repo in /etc/apt/sources.list, you should be fine using the sources for lucid in 9.04.

Here are the sources I've got configured on Lucid, just in case you can't find them: https://gist.github.com/38da4f8afe4c44dec6f5

Did adding the Lucid sources work?

Answer 4

+1 A:

You can try:

Updating Ubuntu: come on, it's free, don't keep the old stuff lingering around...
installing the .deb packages from a later Ubuntu release. I would advise against using the full repository, but it might be you need to go dependency hunting (for the right version of glibc, libstdc++ etc.)
