Hi there,
trying to install apcache , after the ./configure command all works well. Then I receive the following message

======== Error Output for sanity check ========
./helpers/TestCompile: line 1: make: command not found
============= End of Error Report =============

why do I not have the make command.?

anyone ?

DSL does not have make, nor does it have gcc, g++, binutils, ... that you need to compile apache. Come to think of it, I don't know how ./configure did its job when it is supposed to detect these. Are you sure all went well with ./configure? Did you read the transcript carefully?

You need to retrieve the gcc1.dsl extension and load it for you to be able to compile anything.

you are, ofcourse, correct.
i have downloaded the gcc1.dsl file,
but i'm not entirley sure i know what to do with it.

and thanks

Let's say the file gcc1.dsl is in the top directory of your hard disk. Let's also say that this hard disk partition is hda1, and that you have mounted it on /mnt/hda1, and that you can see the contents of this partition using emelfm or "ls /mnt/hda1".

All you have to do is open an XTerminal and type "mydsl-load /mnt/hda1/gcc1.dsl" and the extension will load. To check if the program "make" was loaded, on the XTerminal type "whereis make" and you should see something like "make: /usr/bin/make ... ".

ok, so I have followed you instructions.
I went ahead with configure, there seemed to be no problems except for this line;
awk: htconf.14538.4:21: Unexpected token

OK so i went ahaed with make, i received thie message;

make
===> src
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33/src'
Makefile:8: *** missing separator. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33/src'
make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dsl/apache_1.3.33'
make: *** [build] Error 2

I have no idea what this means, any ideas?

thank you
