variant of redhat). The point is we do have much space on the robot but we
want to add the ability to compile C/C++ programs using makefiles. I am not
sure where to download just these components or how to get them installed. Where should we start? Thanks.
2. If it already does not come pre-installed with the compiler you are looking for, see if GNU GCC supports that platform/processor. If it does, the best thing is to build gcc with ONLY C front end enabled and also remove unwanted/unnecessary options.
3. If it does not come with GNU GCC or if GCC does not support that processor/platform, you need to port it to that processor.
So, first you visit GNU site gcc.gnu.org and check if your processor is supported. If not, search the net for any C compiler that does. When everything fails, in your interest, you can start a Porting Project (if it is worthy enough for your project).
Cheers, Harsha.
