System :: compiling



Just wondering what I need to install in order to compile one of my favorite programs from source. Haven't been able to find info in the wiki.
Thanks in advance!

The gcc-with-libs mydsl extension is pretty much essential for any of the "configure, make, make install" types of source packages. This extension provides many of the standard headers needed to build linux apps.

The gnu-utils mydsl package may be necessary in some situations where the Busybox tools are lacking in command options.

Anything else you may need depends entirely on the program you intend to compile. The source package should include a README or INSTALL file which should tell you what headers are needed to compile the program.

DSL comes with the tcc complier.  It is a tiny complier so it has some limitations.  This post has some good information:

I have downloaded and installed the gcc1-with-libs dsl extension and I am having trouble compiling with it. I tryed a very simple "Hello World" program to test it and it seems that it doesn't know which directory the header files are in. Of course, it doesn't really help for me to #include a header file with its specific directory because it can't find the header files included in the header files...
By the way... I have tried #include <iostream> and #include </usr/include/c++/3.3/iostream>
