I need to compile using "make" but it's not on the CD. What do I need to have apt-get install to get make?

Thanks,

Mike

I'm not sure what you'd need through apt-get, but you can install gcc1.dsl through the myDSL system, which will give you gcc and make.
Unless you're compiling the simplest of applications, you'll probably also need some headers (also known as includes, which are often named "something-dev" to signify that they are developers' packages). Which ones you'll need depends on which application you want to compile. There are a few dev packages available through myDSL.

You need the kernel source, gcc, and hang on I wrote a post here somewhere...
