Manging Multiple Compiler Versions

• for personal machines

For example, if you need multiple versions of gcc/g++ on a single machine running Ubuntu 22.04

• First install with sudo apt-get

sudo apt-get install gcc-11 gcc-10 gcc-9 g++-11 g++-10 g++-9 -y

• Use the updalternativesate to create list of multiple gcc and g++ compiler alternatives

• Larger number = higher priority

  • here, gcc and g++ 11 is default

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 0
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-9 0
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-10 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-10 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 2
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11 2

• Check the available c and c++ compilers list on your system and select desired version by entering relevant selection number:

sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
sudo update-alternatives --config g++

• Sanity check

gcc --version
g++ --version
