Actually, you should start with apt-get install build-essentials.  After
that I don't know exactly what other dependencies are needed, but using
build-essentials is a bit tidier than just GCC since with GCC you still
need to install some other packages to make things useful (since you are
missing stuff like system header files, etc).

You aren't wrong though.
