That's fine if, when you install gcc, it hauls in all the other packages it needs to ensure that you have a complete useable compiler after the install has finished. But with tahrpup you can install a gcc from ubuntu/main and be left without a stddef,h until you manually insert it into one of the include directories or else install devx.rcrsn51 wrote:Like I said before, stddef.h is NOT excluded from the install. It is in a subpackage that would be automatically installed by apt.WIckedWitch wrote:... but their developers do not take that as a reason to exclude them from the compiler install package.
How is that different?
Even Debian tcc has extra header files in a separate package.
The critical thing there is that the installed gcc is not complete and that to set up the repeatable environment, you have to decide the order of installation of gcc and devx and then prove repeatability by checksumming.
