Try C++17 with Docker
- sigjuice 9y agoIMHO Docker is overkill for trying out a new version of gcc. Multiple versions of gcc can exist in separate directories just fine.
- dozzie 9y agoNot to mention chroots.
- sigjuice 9y agoThere is absolutely no need to even involve chroots or anything that needs special privilege just to run a compiler. Typically, a compiler will just read and write files. This is how it ought to work. 1. Download gcc-8.x.y.tar.xz 2. Untar anywhere. I like to do this within my home directory. 3. Run ~/stuff/gcc-8.x.y/bin/gcc If this simplest possible thing does not work and drives you to Docker or chroots or similar things, then something fundamental is broken.
