Howtos - Installing and Removing the Developer Tools

[edit] Overview

Whether you are building software or the Linux kernel from source, you will need several tools installed on your system:

• gcc
• automake
• autoconf
• binutils
• and many others

We provide a simple way to install a core set of developer tools on your system.

[edit] Installing

Bring up a command line session on your ClarkConnect system and run the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get clean
apt-get install cc-devel

You will be prompted to install numerous packages (see screenshot). Hit Y at the prompt and the Enter key to install the developer environment.

[edit] Removing

If your ClarkConnect box is accessible via the Internet (HTTP, FTP, etc), we recommend uninstalling the developer tools once you are done compiling. Run the following commands to remove the developer tools from your system.

/usr/sbin/cc-devel-uninstall.sh
rpm -e cc-devel

In some cases, uninstalling the developer tools may cause the compiled software to fail. In this case, you can either re-install the missing package, or re-install the cc-devel package.
