This question doesn't really make sense. You don't install software directly to a disk device, you mount the disk somewhere in your filesystem and then install software to a directory in the filesystem. > 2.

The dependencies are all documented (but have nothing to do with the disk device you're using). https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html You should read the documentation on installation, and also https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC > 3. What is cross compiler? How can I install gcc as cross compiler? > When do we need to install gcc as cross compiler? A cross compiler is one that generates code for a different processor and/or OS from the system that runs the compiler. For example, you could use a cross-compiler on an x86_64 system to generate code for a an ARM system. > 4. Can someone explain the method of installing cross compiled gcc? It sounds like you don't need to. If you don't know what it is then you probably don't need it. If you do need it then read the docs.
