I am in need to build gcc-4.9/libgcc1_4.9.2-10_amd64.deb locally so that I can copy this deb file to another host for installation.
I am aware that we can build .deb & install file using below steps:
# apt-get source gcc version 4.9
# dpkg-checkbuilddeps
# apt-get install <for all packages listed in above command>
# dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
# dpkg -i <package.deb>
Please confirm on step and let me know how can I download gcc-4.9/libgcc1_4.9.2-10_amd64.deb package cource code to build .deb file? But I am getting below error at first step itself:
# apt-get source gcc version 4.9

Picking 'gcc-defaults' as source package instead of 'gcc'
NOTICE: 'gcc-defaults' packaging is maintained in the 'Svn' version control system at:
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/gcccvs/branches/sid/gcc-defaults
E: Unable to find a source package for version
Install required package :
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot devscripts
configure apt
Open your /etc/apt/sources.list ,Uncomment the lines that start with deb-src
Add the following line:
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable main
NB : If you use stable distribution, getting source from unstable won't affect it.
Update
sudo apt-get update
Use the command apt-get source to download the source code :
apt-get source gcc
Once the package is downloaded (gcc-defaults-1.136 gcc-defaults_1.136.dsc and gcc-defaults_1.136.tar.gz)
, you can check the directory where you are (typing ls), and you'll find that apart from the 3 files that were downloaded you also have a directory, called gcc-defaults-1.136. This is the unpacked source of the Debian package.
Get the build dependencies
sudo apt-get build-dep gcc
build the package
debuild -b -uc -us
