On the previous page, pemasu gave you the link to the devx package. It contains the compiler. Did you try it?

Since it's an SFS, you will need to use the SFS loader tool in your Setup or System menu.

Or right click devx sfs and load it with sfs_load rox right click app which is in right click menu.

I loaded the SFS and hit run, nothing. What dependency am I missing this time, I wonder...

I usually download source code of the application. Then I extract it, I go to the extracted folder and I run in console ./configure (with needed options), then I run make -j 6 and then I run make install DESTDIR=/path/to/the/destination/folder, next I run strippkg, splitpkg and at last I use rox right click app dir2pet ie makepet from rox right click menu.

So....now you could tell us what you want to accomplish and how you do it usually. Detailed description.

Do you want to compile with gcc in console or do something else.

Hello Warrior522,
Try looking in your menu to see if it has been updated with the various applications and components from the devx.sfs

The SFS load application should list what .sfs files are loaded - if the devx.sfs is loaded you should see it in the panel to 'Unload SFS'

Also...in console: gcc --version
tells you if gcc has been loaded (from devx sfs)

Hi Pemasu,
I think Warrior522 maybe means he hit run to start some application from the popup gui screen directly after an sfs has been loaded?

(4.4.5-8) 4.4.5

Exactly.

Warrior522. That gui Run is misleading. Forget it. When you load sfs, you get usual bins and libs loaded which you need for compiling.

So you have loaded devx sfs succesfully. And you have gcc in use.
Now you should tell, what you want to do. I use gcc with previously mentioned commands. But I dont know what you want to accomplish.

I need to get the compiler running so I can use it to test out C++ files.

You launch ( run ) gcc ( Gnu C/C++ compiler ) in console ie in terminal. In console: gcc ( and whatever options you need to test your C++ file )

I infer this means there is no GUI...

I havent ever used gcc with gui. What kind of GUI`s there are for it ?

...I see my lack of "lower code" has come back to bite me.

I will make do. Thank you for your help.

Have you tried FLTK?

Great, installed all my usual applications, everything appears to be working, including the latest NVIDIA driver.

Cheers,

Can Puppy run on hardware like this, please?

They are estimating a street price of $89.

A new Android mini-PC (think MK802) a 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex A9 dual core
w/Mali 400 GPU, 1GB RAM and 4GB storage.

Integrated Wi-Fi, memory card slot, USB 2.0 port, a micro USB port, and HDMI connector. Adobe Flash support, as well as full access to the Google Play Store.

Hi edoc

Sickgut is making a pARMy pUSSy-pUPPy from a debian arm source and I think that there is a reasonable chance that it could be made to work.

BK’s ARM puppy may also be a possible candidate in time.

HTH - very best regards - Ray

For ARM processors, follow Barry Kauler`s work with them. Here is his latest comment about ARM Puppy development. Seems to have the same cpu.

I guess it's on hold from Barry:

My ODROID-X quad-core Cortex-A9 ARM board has arrived, and I ran Android 4.0.4 on it. Nice and fast!

However, I plan to put the ARM boards on the back-burner for awhile and do some work on Wary and Racy, look toward releasing version 5.4.

The last release was 5.3, on April 5, 2012, announced here:
