HiI've done a HD install and enabled the apt-get tools
I want to build my application using c/c++
apt-get has resulted in total meltdown. I tried to apt-get gcc g++ make
Everything is perfect, DSL, size, HD install etc except I can't build my app
because the tools can't be run. How/Howto. Easy to tear up everything and start again. This area seems to be very ifffy. EG can't install make as it need fileutils that conflicts with coreutils.
can't install g++ as it needs libc6-bla that conflicts with libc6-bla-DSL
etc.
I need to build an app (anywhere)
that will run on DSL.
Please point me in the right direction
James

y'see this is the trouble with HD installs.try frugal with gcc and gnu-utils.

Very easy with frugal, just grab gcc1.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl from the system section of the mdDSL repository and away you go. All my development for dsl is never with a traditional hard drive install. I guess you can say "I eat my own dog food!" Frugal the only way to go.
