GNU g++ package not found

[jonathanhedger]

Hi there,

I've been following the install instructions exactly, with great success so far, but have now found that I cannot get the make setup command to work without errors. I have run the linking code that is mentioned in a comment in the make file but that doesn't seem to execute properly either. I have tried updating sudo apt-get and upgrading it but that didn't fix things.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 on a virtual machine through Oracle VirtualBox. These are the errors I see when I run the necessary commands:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-5 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++': File exists

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-5 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc': File exists

$ make setup bash: python: command not found bash: python: command not found cat: /PART: No such file or directory bash: python: command not found bash: python: command not found bash: python: command not found bash: python: command not found basename: missing operand Try 'basename --help' for more information. bash: python: command not found bash: python: command not found bash: curl: command not found bash: python: command not found sudo apt-get install -y g++-5-arm-linux-gnueabihf Reading package lists...

Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I hope I have explained things clearly enough.

Cheers,

Jonathan

you need to update to g++-7 or g++8

you will then be hit by a set of compiler errors on the code - just do what it wants and you will be good.
