Want to gcc - How do you mount devx_211.sfs ...

#1 Post by cwmoser »

Using Puppy 2.12 -- cannot find devx_212.sfs but heard that 211 should work.

How do you mount devx_211.sfs?

These don't work:
--------------------

mount -t squashfs -0 loop /mnt/sda1/devx_211.sfs /mnt/data
"mount: Mounting /mnt/sda1/devx_211.sfs on /mnt/data failed: Invalid argument"

mount -0 loop /mnt/sda1/devx_211.sfs /mnt/data
"mount: Mounting /mnt/sda1/devx_211.sfs on /mnt/data failed: Invalid argument"

mount /mnt/sda1/devx_211.sfs /mnt/data
"mount: Mounting /mnt/sda1/devx_211.sfs on /mnt/data failed: Block device required"


can't compile using gcc. What am I doing wrong?????

Thanks

Carl

If you are using a frugal install, save it to where your pup_save212.3fs file is and reboot.

If you're running a full HD install, see here:

you put devx_212.sfs in /mnt/home and reboot ... that's it ... type which gcc to see that it is installed in /usr/bin

unless you have a full normal install ... you would put it in / i think, but it might or might not work properly, you might need to mount it and copy the files in it ... i do not install Puppy as a full normal install, it's too much trouble

by the way, it's mount -o loop, not mount -0 loop ... the letter "oh" not "zero"
