I need a very lean system with minimum of packages installed for development in C programming language.

I know about build-essential meta-package but it's too big for my intents as I'm just working with C, not C++ etc.

I've tried to install just gcc but it still requires a lot of extra packages. What is the best approach to get the bare minimum for C development of Ubuntu 14.04?

    Try sudo apt-get install gcc --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests. Some of those are definitely just recommended/suggested packages. – muru Jun 14 '17 at 02:05
  • You don't know what CPP is? – muru Jun 14 '17 at 02:17
