Quote: Can I simply remove the old one using apt?

I think that it should be possible but it could also be tedious and complicated, what about binutils and perhaps libraries tied to gcc-7.5.0
it might be as simple as sudo apt purge gcc-7.5.0 but who knows ?
I am interested to know how it goes

Mint will probably work the same way as Debian, Mint is an offshoot of it.

I can only say that for SuSE. The old version has to be deleted using Yast, as it is probably still listed first in the system. For SuSE users: I only have WSL2, and there is only the command line Yast, the graphical Yast is basically no different. - The installation is done with Zypper - I only have a slightly older example here:

Das ist nur das Repo für Suse 12.1 - nicht der GCC
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:12.1/standard/openSUSE:12.1.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install gcc

If configured correctly, the repositories are updated when you start.

The old junk is still there, but it has been deleted out the system.

The complete GCC is installed

Now that is crazy. I just learned, that there are multiple versions of GCC installed in openSUSE Leap 15.6.
Here from my terminal:

Now the only question is, how do I tell Linux that it should use gcc-13 instead of gcc?

RE: QB64-PE v3.14.0 is now available - hsiangch_ong - 08-13-2024

you should try instead:

Code: (Select All)
$ g++ --version

or it could be called gcc-g++.

you want the latest version of it. it might have to be arranged through an alias.

otherwise you should stick to linux mint. no sense getting headaches about this.

Yes there is also a g++-13 available...

As I already wrote, delete 7 & 10 via Yast. Then it will be deleted correctly without problems.

Exactly: 7 & 10 are not deleted from the repositories, they are only uninstalled in the installed system. That's why you can still see them in Yast. - It's just a SuSI, women are just complicated! Tongue

I think that deleting the older gcc/g++ may not be ideal, instead use a symlink https://stackoverflow.com/questions/448457/how-to-use-multiple-versions-of-gcc
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-switch-between-multiple-gcc-and-g-compiler-versions-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts-jammy-jellyfish
the links may be talking about different distros but the suggestions put forth should help

RE: QB64-PE v3.14.0 is now available - Kernelpanic - 08-13-2024

Jack, with Yast that is absolutely correct.

I wrote it, Yast cleanly deletes unnecessary software. If you try to delete something in Yast that the system needs, you get a warning message. So you basically have to want to ruin the system by force.

If you don't believe me, install SuSE and test Yast.
