I tried installing gcc 4.4.7 with no success, using:
sudo apt-get install gcc 4.4.7
I tried to run it via the source code and install a fresh one... Nothing seems to work.
I keep getting this error:
Version 4.4.7 for 'gcc' was not found
or:
Couldn't find any package by glob gcc-4.4.7....
Does anyone have any idea how I can install gcc? I'm new to Linux and have just installed it.
The closest you can get to gcc 4.4.7 in Ubuntu 18.04 is to install gcc-4.8 from the default Ubuntu repositories. To install it open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install gcc-4.8
The gcc package in 18.04 provides gcc 7. The latest gcc package in 18.04 is gcc-8.
Here is how to install GCC 4.4.7 on Ubuntu 18.04:
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main'
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty universe'
sudo apt install gcc-4.4
