How to install gcc/g++ 9 on CentOS 8 docker (centos:latest) - c++

In order to use the C++17 include <filesystem> I need gcc-9 package in my centos docker.
By default centos:latest (aka 8) will install gcc 8.3.1 from the regular distro repo.
Is there any PPA, testing repo, whatever, where I can easily install a gcc-9 (or later) package (i.e. not build it from source)
Thanks !
note: need gcc-9 to have good C++17 <filesystem> support.
GCC 9 Release note:
Using the types and functions in <filesystem> does not require linking with -lstdc++fs now.
src: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-9/changes.html
note2: CMake 3.16* doesn't support any cxx_filesystem compiler feature AFAIK.
ref: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_gbl/CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES.html
note3: you can found log here: https://github.com/Mizux/KalistoUnpacker/runs/642516660?check_suite_focus=true

Simply use dnf
dnf -y install gcc-toolset-9-gcc gcc-toolset-9-gcc-c++
source /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-9/enable
ref: https://centos.pkgs.org/8/centos-appstream-x86_64/gcc-toolset-9-gcc-9.1.1-2.4.el8.x86_64.rpm.html
Note: source won't work inside a Dockerfile so prefer to use:
ENV PATH=/opt/rh/gcc-toolset-9/root/usr/bin:$PATH
or better
RUN dnf -y install gcc-toolset-9-gcc gcc-toolset-9-gcc-c++
RUN echo "source /opt/rh/gcc-toolset-9/enable" >> /etc/bashrc
SHELL ["/bin/bash", "--login", "-c"]
RUN gcc --version

this command work for me
dnf install gcc --best --allowerasing

How to install c++ via yum command without using "Development Tools" group?

I want to run c++ on my centos machine. My Google searches says that run yum group install "Development Tools" command but this downloads other packages too like bison,perl,automake, etc which is not required for my use-case and only increases my docker container size. Can someone suggest the necessary packages required to run c++ ?
TIA
The only necessary tool to "run" C++ (aka build C++) is a compiler:
sudo yum install gcc
echo "#include <iostream>" > main.cpp
echo "int main(){ std::cout << \"Hello World\" << std::endl; }" >> main.cpp
gcc main.cpp -o test -lstdc++
./test
Sure, you can:
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++
This will install default gcc version supplied by your distro.
If you are on RHEL 7 and/or CentOS 7, the default gcc version is quite outdated (4.8.5), so you may want to install "devtoolset-N", which provide newer GCC versions, via Software Collections, for example look at this one. In there, in my experience, installing the devtoolset-N package will install the whole buch of stuff, similar to what groupinstall "Development Tools" does, so for Docker container it is good enough to only install devtoolset-N-toolchain. I also once needed devtoolset-N-libatomic-devel.

how to install C++14 on RHEL 7.4

My question is similar to how to install gcc 4.9.2 on RHEL 7.4
But I'm trying to get C++14 support on Red Hat 7 so I can install mapnik.
I've tried:
# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
Install gcc, g++ version 4.9.2 :
# yum install devtoolset-3-gcc-c++
Enabling gcc-4.9, g++-4.9 : $ scl enable devtoolset-3 bash
But I keep getting
C++ compiler does not support C++14 standard (-std=c++14), which is required. Please upgrade your compiler
The issue is that devtoolset-3 contains the c++11 standard. Making and installing GCC from source caused two GCC versions to exist together. The default being the c++11 version. In order to get the correct version of gcc I needed to install devtoolset-7 and make sure devtoolset-3 was superseded or removed.
Here is how I enabled it:
1. Install a package with repository for your system:
On RHEL, enable RHSCL repository for your system:
$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
2. Install the collection:
$ sudo yum install devtoolset-7
3. Start using software collections:
$ scl enable devtoolset-7 bash
You can download GCC sources and build it.
Generally the process involve:
Download tar.gz with GCC source code, from here: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
Configure, Make and install. You can look for documentation in their site on how to do it, specifically you can start here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC

How to install previous version (4.4.7) of gcc/g++ via apt-get in ubuntu 14.04?

Due to legacy issues I have to install the gcc/g++ version 4.4.7 in my current Ubuntu-gnome 14.04 32 bit virtual machine.
The default update via apt-get install is the 4.8.2 which is a "no go" work for this project.
I've removed it (apt-get remove) . The downloaded and tried to install the 4.4.7 source but it requires to many dependencies.
Via apt-get install I've tried doing:
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4
The download/install is quite fast and when checkign gcc version it give indication that no gcc is installed to run the
sudo apt-get install gcc
If I do this I'll get the 4.8version.
All above also applies to g++.
I compiled the code with the following flag which solved the problem:
g++-4.4.7
It compiles for a specific version. (in this case 4.4.7)
To install a specific version use sudo apt-get install package=version. Or use synaptic package manager which allows you to install specific versions.

How can I build the GPL and LGPL version of Xuggle Xuggler?

Are there specific steps I can take to build the Xuggle Xuggler source code from Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Linux 32-bit, and Linux 64-bit? I've tried multiple times on multiple systems and keep getting lots of different errors.
Update
I spent several days trying to get Xuggle Xuggler to compile (and
cross-compile). I successfully tackled compiling both the original GPL
version of the code and an LGPL version. I thought I'd post an
answer to my own question on Stack Overflow to share my knowledge.
Update on Raspberry Pi
I was also able to build and run Xuggler on the Raspberry Pi following these same basic instructions below. I just used
my LGPL version of the code that I maintain on Github, and made modifications for the Pi. I can use the compiled JAR file and binaries on my Radxa Rock (another ARM device) too. If you're interested
in building on the Pi, you can use my pi branch:
https://github.com/e-d/xuggle-xuggler
If you are lazy and just want the precompiled .jar files for the Pi/ARM:
GPL Version (supports H.264)
LGPL Version (no H.264 support)
Here is a formatted version of my answer in a published Google Document.
For completeness (and in case the link goes dead one day), here is less-nicely-formatted text:
Building Xuggle Xuggler (GPL and LGPL Licensed Versions)
[Linux 32-bit, Linux 64-bit, Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit]
To build the Xuggle Xuggler library, you will need two Linux virtual machines running Ubuntu 11.10 (32-bit and 64-bit operating systems). A 32-bit version of the OS is required to build Linux 32-bit, cross compiling Windows 32-bit, and cross compiling Windows 64-bit binaries. A 64-bit version of the OS is required to build Linux 64-bit binaries.
Using VirtualBox, I created the two virtual machines discussed above with the ubuntu-11.10-server-i386.iso and ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso disk images. These are headless server versions of Ubuntu. After installation of the OS, follow these steps to build Xuggler (you are welcome to try different dependency versions and not use the root user, but this is what I did to build successfully):
Change to root user:
sudo su
Just use root’s home directory:
cd /root
Update apt-get to use specific repository:
apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
apt-get update
Install Java:
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin
Verify the HotSpot Java 6 JVM is the default java:
java -version
If the incorrect version of Java appears, configure the default by running:
update-alternatives --config java
Install gcc, g++, make and all the other build essentials:
apt-get install build-essential
Install YASM:
apt-get install yasm
Install Open SSL:
apt-get install openssl
Install Package Config:
apt-get install pkg-config
Install Git:
apt-get install git
Install Ant:
apt-get install ant-optional
Install JUnit:
apt-get install junit
Install MingGW to be able to build for Windows (mingw-w64 can do 32 and 64-bit Windows):
apt-get install mingw-w64
Download the LGPL configured Xuggle source code (Ed’s fork of the code from Jeff Wallace’s fork from the original GPL xuggle code) or the original GPL version:
LGPL: git clone https://github.com/e-d/xuggle-xuggler.git
GPL: git clone https://github.com/xuggle/xuggle-xuggler.git
Compile and build the JAR files (with binaries inside). Be sure to run the 64-bit Linux build on the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Also note that between builds you will need to run “ant clobber” to remove all of the compiled files from the previous architecture. To build run:
(32/64-bit Linux): ant stage
(64-bit Windows): ant -Dbuild.configure.os=x86_64-w64-mingw32 stage
(32-bit Windows): ant -Dbuild.configure.os=i686-w64-mingw32 stage
The JAR files will be in the /dist/lib directory.
If you need the Linux binaries to additionally work on CentOS, you’ll now need to change the version of GCC and G++ to use 3.4 instead of 3.6.
Install GCC 4.4:
apt-get install gcc-4.4
Update symbolic links to use 4.4 (the arch-specific link will be different on 32-bit VM):
rm /usr/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.4 /usr/bin/gcc
rm /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-4.4 /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
Install C++ (G++) 4.4:
apt-get install c++-4.4
Update symbolic links to use 4.4 (the arch-specific link will be different on 32-bit VM):
rm /usr/bin/cpp
ln -s /usr/bin/cpp-4.4 /usr/bin/cpp
rm /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-cpp
ln -s /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-cpp-4.4 /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-cpp
rm /usr/bin/g++
ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.4 /usr/bin/g++
rm /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++
ln -s /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++-4.4 /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++
Verify default versions:
gcc --version
c++ --version
cpp --version
gcc --version
You can now run the builds the same way as before (you only need to re-build Linux binaries). The binaries will now be compatible with slightly older versions of many Linux distros (including CentOS compatibility). These 4.4 compiled binaries should still work everywhere the 4.6 compiled versions would run too.
Special thanks to this blog for pointing me in the right direction and giving me the majority of what I detailed above.

How do you install Boost on MacOS?

How do you install Boost on MacOS?
Right now I can't find bjam for the Mac.
You can get the latest version of Boost by using Homebrew.
brew install boost.
Download MacPorts, and run the following command:
sudo port install boost
Just get the source, and compile Boost yourself; it has become very easy. Here is an example for the current version of Boost on the current macOS as of this writing:
Download the the .tar.gz from https://www.boost.org/users/download/#live
Unpack and go into the directory:tar -xzf boost_1_50_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_50_0
Configure (and build bjam):
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/some/dir/you/would/like/to/prefix
Build:
./b2
Install:./b2 install
Depending on the prefix you choose in Step 3, you might need to sudo Step 5, if the script tries copy files to a protected location.
Unless your compiler is different than the one supplied with the Mac XCode Dev tools, just follow the instructions in section 5.1 of Getting Started Guide for Unix Variants. The configuration and building of the latest source couldn't be easier, and it took all about about 1 minute to configure and 10 minutes to compile.
Install both of them using homebrew separately.
brew install boost
brew install bjam
Fink appears to have a full set of Boost packages...
With fink installed and running just do
fink install boost1.35.nopython
at the terminal and accept the dependencies it insists on. Or use
fink list boost
to get a list of different packages that are availible.
Install Xcode from the mac app store.
Then use the command:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
the above will install homebrew and allow you to use brew in terminal
then just use command :
brew install boost
which would then install the boost libraries to <your macusername>/usr/local/Cellar/boost
In order to avoid troubles compiling third party libraries that need boost installed in your system, run this:
sudo port install boost +universal
Try +universal
One thing to note: in order for that to make a difference you need to have built python with +universal, if you haven't or you're not sure you can just rebuild python +universal. This applies to both brew as well as macports.
$ brew reinstall python
$ brew install boost
OR
$ sudo port -f uninstall python
$ sudo port install python +universal
$ sudo port install boost +universal
you can download bjam for OSX (or any other OS) here
If you are too lazy like me:
conda install -c conda-forge boost
