I think that gcc and make appear to be needed stuff in Dsl... What do you think... is there any way to install gcc into DSL?

I would like that as well. But GCC & make arent small enough. There is the TCC compiler included with DSL, although I've not tried it yet. I think you can get the files via the usual apt-get.

but there's no "configure" and "make" and that piss me off... i would like to compile something and there's no possibility...

i have hd installed DSL and the fact that this is small is not important to me... is there any possibility to install gcc myself on the hd?

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and update the second line to say "testing" instead of "stable". Save it.

Open a command prompt, and type "apt-get update" (no quotes).

When that's done running, type "apt-get install gcc g++ make" (no quotes).

After that's run, you have a C and C++ compiler, and make available for compiling stuff from source.

THANKS A LOT. I didn't know that Debian is such a nice OS. ;] hehe

Hi there

I just uploaded a small C/TCC - Tutorial for DSL.
I wrote a small program during christmas when I had nothing with me but my beloved DSL-cd

I commented almost every line of the code...
I was quite sceptical about TCC and wanted the good "old" GCC...
TCC may not suit for general source-compilation but it is astonishing powerful for own little projects.
Maybe someone's interessted - please feel free to comment on it. I will start a thread in HOW-TOs.

Good night now,
