I need to install gcc-4.4 for compiling

but now gcc-4.4 is not provided from the list

so you need to add url manually

deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main universe
deb http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main universe

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4
