How to compile with puppy wary 5.1.1 (Full install)

#1 Post by MaxDeCondé »

Hi all !

I want to compile with puppy wary 5.1.2, but when i'm doing it, it says :
/lib/modules/2.6.32/build no such directory

Thanks for your help.

For a frugal install you need to download the kernel source sfs, place it in /mnt/home directory, reboot, then you should have /lib/modules/2.6.32.2/build linking to /usr/src/linux-2.6.32.2.

Thank for your answer. In fact i do have a full install...

In fact, i followed these steps :

Full hard drive installation
This is a conventional Linux installation.
Currently, installing the "devx" file in a full hard drive installation (as opposed to a "frugal" installation) is slightly more complicated, and you can't undo it. It involves some steps....
1. Click on the devx_xxx.sfs in a ROX-Filer window to mount it.
2. Open a terminal in the mounted directory.
3. # cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mnt/hda2/
4. # sync
5. Close the terminal.
6. Click on the devx_xxx.sfs file to unmount it

I can't get the /mnt/hda2 : What's the directory ? sfs position ? or harddrive where puppy is ?

Try installing the kernel sfs with dejan55's sfs installer here.
