cmake fails

[rednectar]

I built a new Linux box (Mint 17.0) and pulled the dynamips repo as per the instructions:

git clone git://github.com/GNS3/dynamips.git
cd dynamips
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

but the cmake fails:

user@GNS3v1 ~/GNS3/Source/dynamips/build $ cmake ..
-- CMAKE_MODULE_PATH=/home/user/GNS3/Source/dynamips/cmake
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.2

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message):
  The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

Hi, I didn't check carefully on my pc (I'm on mobile ATM), but seems that you lack of the classic build tools like g++, gcc, build-essential... please, apt install them and try again

[rednectar]

Rookie error. LocutusOfBorg is right (thanks) - I had a script that did all that for me but I had another error that meant that line got skipped. All good now

[mohammadyakub06]

Can you please provide me elaborated answer for this

[LocutusOfBorg]

@mohammadyakub06 just run sudo apt-get install g++ gcc build-essential and so on
