GCC is no longer available in package repositories #68

Open nicolapalavecino opened 6 years ago

nicolapalavecino commented 6 years ago

https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/c-compiler-on-omega.html says that if two lines are uncommented in the file /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf you can add some package repositories for you to be able to compile C and C++ programs in the Omega. I found out that the gcc compilers are not available in any repository. The following error message appears when I try to install gcc with opkg install gcc:

Unknown package 'gcc'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package gcc.

@greenbreakfast any idea what happened?

Hmm looks like the LEDE people took it out of their repo. We'll look into it and get back to you!

Please fix! The Onion Omega2+ is pretty much useless to me without C++ and C.

nicolapalavecino commented 6 years ago

@corndog2000 you can still cross-compile C and C++ programs in a linux environment. You can see c-cross-compile-example to know how to do it.

But I agree with you, Omega2+ is useless if you can't compile within the Omega OS. @greenbreakfast could you see what happened?

corndog2000 commented 6 years ago

I would do that except the LEDE Build System always fails to build.
