Hi, I installed puppy on my hard drive and I tried to compile some sources but it seems like this distro doesn't have a compiler, or maybe it's not compatible(i realise i might say stupid things :) ). Can someone tell me which files that include gcc should I copy and in which directories? :| Thanks.

if you are running Puppy 210 or 211, download devx_210.sfs or devx_211.sfs from here:
http://www.puppyos.net/test/

put the file in /mnt/home and reboot ... to display the version of gcc, type:

gcc -dumpversion

if you have a full "normal" installation of Puppy to the hard drive, it is not as easy

install devx on full puppy install
