C++ compiler?

[dolphin_oracle]

gcc is a metapackage and was added to our package lists after 23.1's release. it will be on future releases and the november snapshots.

Might need to manually download the gcc package too. I'll check later, I'm not at my computer right now (posting this from my phone).

I tested installing build-essential from a mx23 install I've been using for a while and gcc might've already been installed. I'll test it again in a LiveUsb session.

Earlier MX versions came with build-essential preinstalled, I'm not sure when they stopped doing that.

Okay, in a fresh LiveUSB session where nothing has been installed yet it looks like you also need the gcc package (download link below)

Code: Select all
