dCore-stretch build-essential and xorg-vesa

Ok, good to hear on the compiling working now.

Of course, what is considered old hardware is getting newer all the time.  And we are basically at the mercy of what Debian/Ubuntu offers in terms of it's toolchain and it's abilities.

Found a simple solution, just wanted to post if anyone else is running modern dCore-* with non-SSE2 hardware. In dCore-stretch, build-essential uses gcc 6, but gcc 5 is also available in the repository. As build-essential is essential this should be imported. Then also import gcc-5. As two gcc versions will be loaded, the easiest method to specify preference:

--- Quote ---In case you want a quicker (but still very clean) way of achieving it for a personal purpose (for instance if you want to build a specific project having some strong requirements concerning the version of the compiler), just follow the following steps:
type echo $PATH and look for a personal directory having a very high priority (in my case, I have ~/.local/bin);
add the symbolic links in this directory:

For instance:

ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-WHATEVER ~/.local/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/g++-WHATEVER ~/.local/bin/g++

Of course, this will work for a single user (it isn't a system wide solution), but on the other hand I don't like to change too many things in my installation.

Tested well with successful ./configure of software noted above, thanks.

Jason W:
Thanks for this info, I was not aware of the usage of the different versions of GCC available. 

Jason W:
gcc-5 added to the deps of build-essential.

nitram:
Merry Christmas or Festivus, peace to all.
Thanks for adding the dependency, didn't think to ask.
Maybe  g++-5  should also be included, otherwise incomplete set.
