Compiling C++ Code on the Minimal Version of Photon OS
As a minimalist Linux run-time environment, the minimal version of Photon OS lacks the packages that you need to compile the code for a C++ program. For example, without the requisite packages, trying to compile the file containing the following code with the gcc
command will generate errors:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
return 0;
}
The errors appear as follows:
gcc test.c
-bash: gcc: command not found
tdnf install gcc -y
gcc test.c
test.c:1:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
To enable the minimal version of Photon OS to preprocess, compile, assemble, and link C++ code, you must install the following packages as root with tdnf:
gcc
glibc-devel
binutils
To install the packages, use the following the tdnf
command:
tdnf install gcc glibc-devel binutils
