If you’ve ever used the apt package manager of Ubuntu the following group comes handy while installing the minimal set of tools required to compile various sources
1 | sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` |
Yum does provide similar groups and the closest that comes to build-essential is Development Tools & Development Libraries. This will do that job but will also install a whole lotta junk that you dont necessarily need. The most minimal set of build tools required on Fedora can be installed by the following yum packages
1 | yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel |
This does have its own set of dependencies but minimal. The last time I pulled these packages it weighed in at 26M.
Thats it! Thanks for stopping by.
