How to compile C on TahrPup64? (Solved)

[tahrball]

Hey all,

Version: tahrpup64 version 6.0.5 running on a USB stick.

I run into this error anytime I try to run ./configure from source directory:
"C compiler cannot create executables"

I've tried installing the usual suspects from puppy package manager (gcc, cmake, clang, etc), but no luck. I've seen elsewhere that puppy needs a package called "devx", which I guess is a rough equivalent to build-essential in Ubuntu? But I was not able to locate that package in the package manager. (I did locate build-essential, but installing it did not make a difference).

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

Here you are:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... p64-6.0.5/

Just download the devx_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs and click on it and install.

That's all!

Yes the devx sfs package has all the needed programs for compiling.

You also need about 4 or 5 times the free space as the size of what you are compiling.

You will probably need the kernel sources sfs also.

There is also this:

In the console enter

Code: Select all

sfsget

Click on a listed item to install it.

For the kernel sources need to make sure you get the one for the kernel you are using.
May be more than one kernel sources sfs listed.

Thanks all! I just noticed the get sfs option before opening the puppy package manager as well. Definitely a noobie mistake, but thanks for being patient and taking time to answer fellas.
