How to install gcc-4.9 version in NI Linux RT Comm on a PXIe Controller?

[Anshumanms]

I need to compile the binaries for an application which needs gcc 4.9.2 version because with gcc 7.3 which is currently installed I am not able to build my application. Can someone please suggest me on how I can install gcc-4.9.2 on the controller. Thanks in advance.

Hi Anshumanms,

Is there a specific reason you need gcc-4.9.2?

My understanding is that newer gcc versions are backwards compatible with older shared libraries and the like. While you might be able to get gcc-4.9.2, we would highly recommend sticking to the shipping version in our repos instead.
