GCC 4.8

[boulay....@gmail.com]

Hi,

On my Beagle Board Black, I have GCC 4.6. With I try to update it with GCC version using this command:

sudo apt-get install gcc

It seems that I have the latest version available of GCC.

Is it possible to install GCC 4.8? and how?


Im on Debian 7.7 (default linux installed on my board)

Thanks!
Patrick

Hello,

Is it possible to have GCC 4.8 on my BeagleBone Black? I have the Debian distribution and I try those 2 commands it's not working

sudo apt-get install gcc (gcc is already the newest version)  ==> My current GCC version is 4.6.x
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 (unable to locate package)

Anyone know how to do it?

Thanks
Patrick
