gcc and make

[M4av0]

Hello to all ubuntu people.
I can't find the gcc compiler or make on my ubuntu installation (default install).
I tried to look it up on the CD, I couldnt find it there either. ](*,)
I'm pretty much loosing it. What kind of distro comes w/o a compiler and make
tools !?! :confused:
Maybe I'm just too lame to find it. Please help me. I couldn't find any binary
gcc release on the net.
Thanks a bunch!

I didn't say that!
Install build-essential.

It is on the install cd, so you can install it with or without internet connection. Just get the package build-essential, it depends on the essential things like make, gcc, ld and such (obviously).

Thanks for a quick reply. I have found it at last. Eureka! It's in the pool/main/g/gcc-4.
But it's in a .deb format. This is all new to me, so if you could be kind enough and please tell me how I can install these features.
Thank you very much.

Nevermind the last post. I think I got it. It's the install command. :)
Thanks anyway.

Ok, I've installed all I needed with apt-get install. I'm starting to like this distro.:)
