If you have a liveCD system, try the gcc extension at
< http://www.ibiblio.org/pub....testing >

If you have a harddrive installed DSL, I recommend using apt-get or dpkg to install the official debian packages for gcc and make.

Keep in mind that DSL is a stripped down distribution, which doesn't include development libraries, headers, etc necessary to compile many programs. Without these, you'll find that you can compile only a small percentage of the applications available in the open source world.

hello

iam new to dsl and i have a similar problem:
i've done a hd-install of dsl successfully. iam connecting to the net over wlan. i've a smc 2632w v2 pcmcia card. unfortunately this card is not supported bei cardmgr. i know that the card has an atmel chipset. i've found drivers on the web, but i need make to install them. i've read in the forum that i can get make & gcc throug apt-get. but i have atm no chance to connect to the net. now my question is how i can get make & gcc without having a working inet connection (on my other suse-machine i can conenct to the net)!
can anyone help me?

One option:
There are DEB packages available for gcc/make.
Download the dpkg extension from the DSL extensions repository.
Download (*.deb packages) gcc, make, and any dependencies from the nearest Debian mirror.
Install with "dpkg -i name_of_package.deb"

Another option:
Compiling on your suse machine might work. I've compiled most of my extensions this way, though drivers may fail as far as I know.

Can you download the gcc1.dsl file on your other machine and then burn it to a CD? Or a zip drive? Or a USB key? Then run that dsl file from your live CD?

You could also make a multisession CD on your suse machine, starting with DSL, adding a directory called optional and putting the gcc1 file there.
