Hi, is assume this is a C-compiler. I just wanted to use abiword typing ./configure. There appear an error message there is no usable C compiler.

- DSL offers tcc. How can I use it?

- Have I to download gcc? It s about 30MB

why do you want to compile?
abiword.dsl in MyDSL Repository is a precompiled binary

It's my understanding that *very late has a harddrive install of DSL. In this case, I'd personally prefer installing from source as well.

I know nothing about tcc, so I can't help there. If you want to use gcc, then yeah...you'll need to download quite a bit.

It's my understanding that DSL is ment as a liveCD
if you want harddisk install go for the real debian or bonzai, then you dont have to ask for a the extra things to spoil the beuaty of DSL

sorry if i sound rude.

My previous debian testing did more problems with this old computer.
I decided to learn using DSL as hd install and I am surprised how well it runs even I have to go to a friend to download certain packages sometimes.

It does not matter my DSL installation gets a little bit "fatter" when installing some extra packages.

How do I install gcc after the "unpack"?
Just "./configure" or something like that?

ask your friend to put the 30mb of gcc*.debs on floppies.
or seriously get the cdroms from debian if your friend has internet he can download the debian isos burn them and give then to you

you cant stand there with empty hands and expect things to happen.

sorry i had little sleep tonight to.

I have the debian cd1 at home.
I ll have a look at it.

I ve gcc on my usb-stick now.
What's better? Running the source from the stick or the debian-package from cd?
