Install/Upgrad GCC Supporting C++11 or above
Standard
For some librariese that need GCC C++ compiler supporting C++11 or above standard mandatorily, so it would
fail to build on CentOS 6.5 whose GCC’s version is v4.4.7, it is too old.
From GCC v4.7, GCC supports C++11 standard; from GCC v4.9, GCC supports C++14 standard.
Here using GCC v4.9.0 as an example for upgrading GCC on CentOS 6.5.
To retrieve a copy of GCC source archive, please refer to the GNU GCC download site:
* ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
* http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
* https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
1) Dowload GCC v4.9.0 source archive.
# curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.9.0/gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz
or
# wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.9.0/gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz
2) Unpack gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz, it will generate a folder name “gcc-4.9.0”:
# tar zxf gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz
3) Install development tools (if you do not install it ever).
# yum groupinstall "Development tools"
P.4
4) Download and extract pre-requisites
These prerequisites are required to build the final gcc compiler.
# cd gcc-4.9.0
# ./contrib/download_prerequisites
P.5
Note:
* It must locate in this level of directory because the pre-requisite packages must be put in this level!
* If you do not install required libraries for building GCC, it will show below error messages.
5) Configure and install GCC
# cd ..
# mkdir build_gcc_4.9.0
# cd build_gcc_4.9.0
# ../gcc-4.9.0/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.9.0/ --enable-checking=release --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib
# make -j4 (4 means 4 CPU cores, this will change on different CPU platform)
# make -k check
# make install
Note
On 64-bit (x86_64) platform, when confguring GCC, use the option
"--enable-multilib --with-multilib-list=m32,m64" to let compiler could build out a 32-bit software, while
the option "--disable-multilib" means no 32-bit support, e.g. it could only built out 64-bit software.
6) Using alternatives(or ”update-alternatives“ which is a symbolic link to “alternatives”) tool to set currently
used GCC compiler. The version of GCC used in CentOS 6.5 is v4.4.7.
# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc_4.4.7
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /opt/gcc-4.9.0/bin/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc-4.9.0 40
# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++_4.4.7
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /opt/gcc-4.9.0/bin/g++ 40
# mv /usr/bin/c++ /usr/bin/c++_4.4.7
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/c++ c++ /opt/gcc-4.9.0/bin/c++ 40
To verify current version of GCC compiler.
# gcc --version
P.6
# g++ --version
# c++ --version
7) Copy new GCC libraries to system library folder
[for 32-bit]
# mv /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.backup
# cp -P /opt/gcc-4.9.0/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/
# cp /opt/gcc-4.9.0/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 /usr/lib/
[for 64-bit]
# mv /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.backup
# cp -P /opt/gcc-4.9.0/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/
# cp /opt/gcc-4.9.0/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 /usr/lib64/
To verify current version of all system libraries
# ldconfig -v
If you want to update the “man” document for the new GCC, it could copy folders and files under
/opt/gcc-4.9.0/share to /usr/lib/share or /usr/lib64/share.
P.7
Install Qt 5 Here using Qt v5.4.1 for example.
1) Install Development Tools (if you do not install it ever)
# su
$ yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
P.8
2) Download qt -opensource-linux-x64-5.4.1.run or latest version
* http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/
* http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.4/5.4.1/
* http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.4/5.4.1/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.4.1.run.mirrorlist
3) Change the mode of to executable
# chmod 755 ./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.4.1.run
4) Run qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.4.1.run to start installation process
# ./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.4.1.run
P.9
P.10
P.11
P.12
Note
If the GCC(g++ / c++ compiler) version does not support C++10 (or above) standard, it will show below error
messages.
P.13
It could use commands to check if there have needed C++ libraries in the system.
# strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC
Below shows CentOS 6.5 original C++ libraries.
If you ever upgrade GCC to a newer version, it would show more libraries (here is the case that it had
upgrade GCC to v4.9.0).
P.14
5) Add Qt commands to PATH (e.g. qmake).
Ex:
export PATH=$PATH :/home/william/Qt5.4.1/5.4/gcc_64/bin
6) Run qmake -version to verify the version.
7) Copy built Qt 5.4.1 library’s pkg-config(package configuration) file (.pc) to system library folder for 64-bit,
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig.
su
cd /usr/lib64/
cp -r ./pkgconfig ./ pkgconfig_org
cd ./pkgconfig
cp /home/william/Qt5.4.1/5.4/gcc_64/lib/pkgconfig/* ./
P.15
Note
/home/william/Qt5.4.1 is Qt 5.4.1 installation path.
About pkg-config, please see its official site:
