yum equivalent for apt’s build-essential
Just now I’ve installed Fedora 16 on my desktop. Normally I use Ubuntu (or Xubuntu rather). Because I’m a developer I need to have several build tools installed for compiling. On Ubuntu one of the first things I always do is a sudo apt-get install build-essential.
On Fedora, this is a little different. First of all, you’ve got to use the yum command line application. After some searching I found the following equivalent for build-essential.
sudo yum groupinstall “Development Tools”

Awesome, I too am in your same boat.. Debian going to Fedora. Thank you for this.

Not sure if you’ve read my other posts (yet), but I’m now using Ubuntu 11.10. Fedora 16 just proved to be too unstable for me to be able to actually use it. For some reason the Live CD (or rather USB
) seemed a lot more stable.
