installing c compiler on an offline machine

By Gabriel Cooper

i am new to ubuntu. i have been programming physics and rendering logic for pc games in c, c++ and opengl on windows os for years. i cannot use windows any longer and i am trying linux out. i want to continue development using linux. i am learning on ubuntu studio (newest release) but my dev work pcs are completely offline machines. always. i need to install a c compiler and linker to build from sources but i am having trouble finding an offline installer or package for gcc or any other for that matter. i cannot use 'software center' or 'sudo apt get ...' because it is an offline only machine. i have to get some kind of package or offline installer, and transfer it between machines via usb-stick to install on my offline work-station. i came to ubuntu to be free from windows os and online enforced design paradigm, but all advice i find is to use 'sudo apt get ...'. ubuntu seems to be more internet dependant than windows by far. i am here to stay and learn though. does anyone know of any install solutions. if not, would it be possible to create a basic c99 compiler from scratch using terminal commands? because then i could compile another, official c or c++ compiler and make tools to resume work officially. thank you for your time. i appreciate you all.
