I have 2 operating systems on my pc: windows 8.1 and Ubuntu. Windows 8.1 has internet connection, but Ubuntu does not. Is there a way I can download GCC for Ubuntu on my drive and then transfer and install it from there? what do I have to keep in mind when installing?

Note: I have never installoed a program on Ubuntu before!!

Specs: ubuntu 13.10 32bit windows 8.1 64bit

After trying the awnser I got this error: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131390508@N06/16405946079/

  • because my ubuntu does not connect with my wireless 3g modum – BRHSM Feb 20 '15 at 15:20
  • you don't get it, I have a 3g modum which does not come with UTP. There is no linux or mac support AT ALL(thank you alcatel). so I have to download files to my windows drive and then transfer them – BRHSM Feb 20 '15 at 15:24
  • yeah but I thought that you ment that I had to put it in there... anyway There is no way to get internet because that's the only thing I have. I can't buy stuff just to be able to download free software right? and if there is another way it would be better in my case – BRHSM Feb 20 '15 at 15:31

To get the most out of your machine you should consider troubleshooting your internet connection first. As for GCC, try installing build-essential from here. It includes GCC and its dependencies.

Aside from not having an internet connection, you will have to face the issue that Ubuntu 13.10 is an end-of-life (EOL) release and is no longer supported.

In general, the most reliable way to identify and download the gcc package along with its missing dependencies from a system with no internet connection is probably to use

apt-get install --print-uris gcc

or perhaps better

apt-get install --print-uris build-essential

on the Ubuntu machine, and then use the listed URLs to download the packages on your internet-connected computer. However because you are using an EOL release the URLs will no longer be valid in this case.

  • There are none that say ubuntu 13.10 on the website you gave me?? – BRHSM Feb 20 '15 at 16:47
  • The Saucy old-releases archive is at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy/ however I have removed that from the "answer" since I don't actually know how (or if it's possible) to translate the apt-get URIs into a suitable form. – steeldriver Feb 20 '15 at 16:49
  • so this might not even be possibile? – BRHSM Feb 20 '15 at 17:04
