Fedora equivalent of Debian's/Ubuntu's build-essential?

[Panarchy]

Hello

I've currently installed cmake, qt, qmake, gcc & gcc-c++.

What else do I need?

There is a meta-package called build-essential for Debian based system, which includes [basically] everything needed to build packages form source.

Is there an equivalent for Fedora (and other RPM based) systems?

If there is, please tell me of it.

If not, please tell me where I can get Qt qmake, and whatever other packages I need.

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

su -
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

Or:
yum install yumex
then open YUMEX, and search Groups tab.

Actually, while Hlinger's answer is correct, it can be overkill.

Often, all you need is

yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel

That will pull in lots of other things, but far less than all the development tools and development libraries. It's a bit closer to Ubuntu's build-essential, which pulls in the most important things for typical compiling.

Hlinger's solution brings in just about *anything* you could ever need or want. So, it sort of depends upon how well prepared you want to be.

I tried the group install method, got this;

No packages in any requested group available to install or update

Yikes! Maybe it's cause I installed Fedora x64 from the DVD...

I am trying to compile this: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...?content=40492

What do I need in order to compile it?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

You already have them all.

Install the KDE Development Group:
yum groupinstall "KDE Software Development"

P.S. To list installed and available groups:
yum grouplist

Thanks

The theme link no longer worked, so I had to find it again. Found it, and after downloading ^ it worked!



I'll try enabling the theme...

Looks alright.

Here is the new link: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...?content=40492

Thanks

You try the KDE "System Settings" utility==>> Appearance (Look & Feel) and/or Desktop Theme ?

Not to worry, see time of editing my previous post.

I'd worked it out

Thanks though
