compilers on ESX

[srinivasaraojav]

Hi All,

How can I compile C/C++ programs on ESX4.1/ESX4.0? I want to write some management applications in ESX. Are there any compilers available for ESX4.1/ESX4.0?

Thank you,

Srinivas.

1) ESX is declared "end of life", 4.1 is the last release with ESX, all future releases will be ESXi only.

2) Use gcc and RHEL machine to compile modules for ESX.

Did you mean there are no C/C++ compilers available for ESX? Or Is there any way to get the C/C++ compilers for ESX

1) There are no compilers IN ESX, ESX is not a build server or development machine.

2) You can use standard Linux machine, no matter physical or virtual, with standard gcc to compile modules FOR ESX. RHEL5 is preferred.
