How To Install pcc on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install pcc on Fedora 34.
What is pcc
The compiler is based on the original Portable C Compiler by Stephen C. Johnson, written in the late 70’s. Even though much of the compiler has been rewritten, some of the basics still remain. PCC debuted in Unix Version 7 and replaced the DMR compiler (Dennis Ritchie’s original C compiler) in both System V and the BSD 4.x releases. Some history about pcc is in the A History of UNIX before Berkeley About 50% of the front-end code and 80% of the back-end code has been rewritten. Most stuff is written by Anders Magnusson, with the exception of the data-flow analysis part and the SSA conversion code which is written by Peter A. Jonsson, and the Mips port that were written as part of a project by undergraduate students at Luleå University of Technology (LTU).
We can use yum or dnf to install pcc on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install pcc.
Install pcc on Fedora 34 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install pcc using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install pcc
