I've been searching the net, DSL forums, wiki, etc and couldn't find the answer to my questions.
Anyway, this may be a bit too specific, but I'll give it a shot. I don't know how many people in here are familiar with LabVIEW and GE's "vme_universe" VME-chassis memory access software, but these are what I'm trying to get installed into DSL to run on various VME single-board computers.
I've been able to get a LabVIEW run-time engine for linux installed and my 'built' LabVIEW application running on DSL. I'm still in the process of learning how to create a new iso image.
My main problem is with the vme_universe software. In order to use it, I have to have the kernel source code installed to build the modules I need. This requires the use of "make" commands which don't seem to work in DSL (do I have to install gcc?).
As my username implies, I'm a linux novice. I've been able to create this setup on a USB HDD with Mandrake 10.1, but want to do a version with DSL because of it's ability to run completely in RAM with a GUI (needed for LabVIEW apps).
If anybody could get me pointed in the right direction, I'd be grateful. If nobody can help, it can't be done in DSL, I understand and thanks anyway.
