gcc-11 for Ubuntu 24.04.6 on WSL2

prusso · Jun 30, 2023

Is there a possibility to install gcc-11 for WSL2 version of Ubuntu 22.04.6. So far I tried apt update, apt upgrade and sudo apt install gcc-11. No luck yet there. I am running so far at this time Windows 11 Pro with WSL2 installed with the kernel update.

Is there a possibility to install gcc-11 for WSL2 version of Ubuntu 22.04.6?

If your way did not work, then try a different repository

Code:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/ppa -y
sudo apt install -y gcc-11
gcc-11 --version

Are you sure that Ubuntu 22.04.6 is installed?

I think so. I feel pretty sure so from the Microsoft store that is what is showing up in start menu that I had chosen it.
