Since I would like to play around with C++17 and several TSs I am searching to install GCC 7.0 on my Ubuntu 16.04.

Sadly I could not yet find a version out there which would not produce colliding package dependencies.

I generally settled for LTS and am not in the mood to upgrade to later versions. Thus is there another option than compiling GCC from source?

  • If you just want to play around, wait a little. The toolchain test PPA has GCC 7 for 17.04 (which isn't building fully successfully now), so it might take a few days for it to become available for 16.04 and older releases. – muru Nov 14 '16 at 02:02
  • The question to me is more whether anyone is actually porting that back to 16.04. Why do you assume that it only takes a few days? – abergmeier Nov 16 '16 at 21:21
  • I didn't assume that. Note: "it *might" ...' – muru Nov 16 '16 at 22:25
  • @muru gcc-trunk (gcc-7) is usually only on ubuntu-dev (17.04). As soon as gcc releases 7.0, it is usually backported to stable ubuntu versions. In the mean time, you have to build from source. – TemplateRex Dec 16 '16 at 17:47
