On Debian/Devuan/Ubuntu/etc, when I need to execute a makefile, I need to ensure that build-essential is installed, as it contains the gcc compiler. What’s the openSUSE equivalent?
The C-C++ pattern should be comparable
https://software.opensuse.org/package/patterns-devel-C-C++
Note you don’t have to download from anywhere special, it’s in your existing OSS and OSS update repos (standard on all installs)
You can search for, and determine the pattern’s exact name by command line (actually, although I’ve posted with cap C, is probably lower case)
zypper se --pattern C++
Or,
Using the YaST Software Manager,
Simply modify the “View” in the left column to display patterns and scroll down until you see the pattern (likely in a Development group)
TSU
I always install the base-development pattern. That includes compiler and other relevant tools.
I use Yast software management, and select the “Patterns” view. Then I scroll down to the development section.
I also install kernel-devel which pulls in the header files for the current kernel. You probably need that, too.
Thanks to tsu2 and nrickert for the replies. I’ll get busy.
First you need to see what packages have the pattern:
zypper info -t pattern devel_basis
After that, you need to install these packages:
sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis
