Imagine it may come with Buster...

Re: Request: gcc & g++ 8 in MX18
Do you really need it, such as for programming with it, or is there another reason? In that case, you actually might have an "XY problem".

Mayhap the OP is trying to install some package from a foreign (possibly Ubuntu) repo or PPA, which isn't recommended?

Re: Request: gcc & g++ 8 in MX18
For a while I have included Debian Buster repo in my MX 18 test system and I have purged gcc-6/g++-6.
apt replaced this with gcc-7/g++-7 from Buster Repo automatically, not gcc-8/g++-8 but this is available too.
Note: It's an experiment. This system runs stable so far but it isn't recommandable to do such things on a productive machine. Some users would say it is a "FrankenDebian".

for those with an eye for the finer details...
Re: Request: gcc & g++ 8 in MX18
First of all, I guess everyone thinks that I'm new to Linux since I have very few posts here & also maybe because of the goofy signature. But I've been using Linux for the past decade and still I'm not going to change the signature. I just love it. Gratitude to MX forum maintainers for still having those legacy smileys. I miss them in other forums.
Just made a thread to know if it would be officially back ported to prevent FrankenDebian.
Sad to hear that.
Actually this. Need it for C++14. I wonder if any other devs actually use MX or a distro based on Debian stable. I guess lack of recent packages is the reason they just install ubuntu & call it a day.
Nope.
FrankenDebian, yes, I've also been doing the same since MX17. Was using gcc-7 with MX17 and now need gcc-8.dphn wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 3:04 am For a while I have included Debian Buster repo in my MX 18 test system and I have purged gcc-6/g++-6.

Re: Request: gcc & g++ 8 in MX18
The stock gcc-6 in MX 17/18 supports the c++-14 standard--I build packages that need that standard quite frequently. Did you mean c++-17?
An existing option for a compiler that supports a newer standard would be the latest clang compiler, and we have 7.0 backported to the main repo.
