Did not work for me

[TheJediMaster]

I ran a script to install GCC8.2.0 and after 9 hours I ran the same commands to compile which gave me the error and it worked. I believe your library links are not complete.

Using your method I have the following error
configure: error: No working boost sleep implementation found.

After install using the script the same install worked like a charm.

My colleague found the same thing.

Maybe this will work for basic compliations but certainly not for ours

From my colleague
I think the links to the precompiled files are incomplete. I saw that some files in the bin folder have the same size. I tried different things without success. How many files have you in your gcc8 bin folder?"

@TheJediMaster This error is not related to this repository or GCC 8.2.0 at all. You can check your working binaries as depicted in READMe section i.e. as follows:

Testing: (Post Linking)

You can check Installed versions as below:

    Native Compiler[if you DON'T followed step-6] (Raspberry pi only):
    arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-8.2.0 --version

    arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-8.2.0 --version

    arm-linux-gnueabihf-gfortran-8.2.0 --version

    Native Compiler[if you followed step-6] (Raspberry pi only):
    gcc --version

    g++ --version

    gfortran --version

    Cross- Compiler (Ubuntu x64 Tested):
    arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version

    arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ --version

    arm-linux-gnueabihf-gfortran --version

Using your method I have the following error
configure: error: No working boost sleep implementation found.

This is a configure error, which is not related to the compiler but occurs due to missing dependency i.e. boost development libraries in your case, required by the Toolkit/Software/Code you are trying to run/install/configure on your machine. So you can easily correct his error by installing the required boost development libraries as follows:

 sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev

and then rerun your configure command again.

Also Next time, Kindly correct this type of simple error by googling them instead of raising issue here, Goodluck.
