GCC

GCC, which stands for GNU Compiler Collection, is a free, open-source compiler system produced by the GNU Project.

Installation

The quickest way to get started with GCC on Alpine Linux is by issuing the following command:

apk add build-base

build-base is a meta-package that will install the GCC, libc-dev and binutils packages (amongst others).

For a smaller install you may install just gcc but will also need at least musl-dev or libc-dev (meta package for local libc).
