GCC

GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is one of the most popular compilers for compiling C, C++ and Fortran programs.

In Triton we have various GCC versions installed, but only some of them are actively supported.

Basic usage

Let’s consider the following Hello world-program (hello.c) written in C.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   printf("Hello world.\n");
   return 0;
}

After downloading it to a folder, we can compile it with GCC.

First, let’s load up a GCC module:

module load gcc/8.4.0

Secondly, let’s compile the code:

gcc -o hello hello.c

Now we can run the program:

./hello

This outputs the expected Hello world-string.

System compiler is installed only on the login node. Other versions of GCC are installed as modules.

If you need a different version of GCC, please send a request through the issue tracker.

These installations will work, but they are not actively updated.

Other old installations are not recommended.
