There are a few ways to do it.
You could install gcc1.dsl, gnu-utils.dsl, and the development packages also available from mydsl, and then you might be able to compile applications in DSL. This is probably the most difficult method, though, since there are so many different programs that require so many different develelopment files, most of which are not available in DSL or the mydsl repository.
If you have another Linux system, you can usually compile a program in that system and copy it into DSL. You will often still need to include certain runtime libraries with your application, but at least you won't need the headers in DSL. It helps if you have a linux system which has libc 2.3, libgtk-1.2, and other DSL-compatable libs.
Probably the easiest way is to install dsl-dpkg.dsl ("enable apt" in the menu) and install pre-compiled Debian packages. I haven't done much of this, so I can't help with details.
