build-essential
Return to C Compilers
The CMake error message indicates that CMake is unable to find aC compiler on your system. This is necessary for configuring and generating the build system files, even if your main language is C++.
The most straightforward fix for this issue is to install a C compiler if it isn't already installed, or to specify the path to an existing C compiler. On Linux, the commonly used compilers are GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) or Clang. This should resolve the issue related to the missing C compiler.
Set Environment Variable (Optional): If the compiler isn't in your PATH after installation, you can set the CC environment variable to the full path of the C compiler.

gcc related ONLY: Give me a 125 term vocabulary list sorted by popularity in usage (by commonly used / frequency of use in codebases). That means 125 terms, not 125 words. DO NOT REPEAT YOURSELF. Acronyms related to gcc technology are allowed but they must be expanded. e.g. RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization). The terms should have to do ONLY with and SPECIFICALLY with gcc, CANNOT include generic operating system terms, generic IT terms, or computing terms. No definitions. Just the words. Each word should be surrounded by double brackets and separated by a comma and on the same lines. e.g. robots, robotics. Etc.
