|
|
Hi,
i have some problems while trying to compile OpenSSL package.
It seems to me that the make command
for example:
'make install'
is not availibe at all. When i enter this i always got the error message:
"make command not found".
So i tried to install gcc itself. But reading the gcc installtion notes tells me that i also need the make command or at least another compiler on the system.
Has anyone an idea how i can compile other source code packages on damn small linux ?
Thy in advance,
PAPiLLiON |

The make tools are in the mydsl repository, (gcc1.dsl under the system category) but I don't know if it is working at the moment. You could try setting up apt, as described in the post below, and then installing gcc.

Peter is right, but I feel there are some important points that he didn't mention.
A compiler, like gcc, is required to compile anything, including a compiler. What? In other words, gcc is required to compile gcc. It is called a circular dependency.
Most distributions include gcc. Only small ones don't.
One way to get around this is to install something like RedHat, then use it's compiler to compile gcc, then tar and gz the gcc directories, and copy that "cross compiler" somewhere you can install it into DSL-N.
Or, you can go to the repository, download the already compiled compiler, where Peter said it is, and load it as a myDSL extension. That is much easier. I recommend that one. |
