The GCC is standard in every Linux distro, if it's not part of the Puppy distro then forget Puppy.Theoretically this is true, but only the C compiler is "required". Many distros don't carry the C++ compiler, will need that to create programs with QB64. Other programming systems want the "fortran" library for maths so that's usually pulled in as dependency of "gcc".
In earnest, is there no guide on how one to correctly install the latest stable GCC 11.3; I think?

Even worse, a few distros could have the C and C++ compilers but a mind-boggling naming system which makes it difficult to locate the headers and libraries. This happened to me on Solus which forced me to investigate. It's one of the distros which specifically requires installing a "developer's package" on top of whatever exists considered to be "gcc".
