install "make"


Hello, Linux:

To install "make", I dowload make-3.80 and install it following the instruction. At the end, there is no "make" available. I don't know what could be wrong? I use Fedora 8.

Thank you for your advice

Bo

Here is how I did:

[Yang@localhost Linux]$ cd make-3.80
[Yang@localhost make-3.80]$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
---

[Yang@localhost make-3.80]$ sh ./build.sh
compiling ar.c...
compiling arscan.c...
compiling commands.c...
compiling default.c...
compiling dir.c...


compiling hash.c...
compiling remote-@REMOTE@.c...
gcc: ./remote-@REMOTE@.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files


[Yang@localhost make-3.80]$ make
bash: make: command not found
[Yang@localhost make-3.80]$ ./make
bash: ./make: No such file or directory

Hi,

I install my Fedora 8 from a DVD which is attached to the Book "Linux Dummies". I go back the DVD to see if there is "make" install. But I can't find anything in the DVD which is shown as "Fedora 8 live i686".

> I thought you already installed 'make' ??

No. I only download the Make-3.80 package. When I tried to install, it complained that there was no c compiler. I have to install gcc along with others. I then install make-3.80, When I check where is the make, it is not there. I guess that the program is not installed.

Thank you for your advice

Bo

Hi,

I am still blocked here and don't know what is going on with the install of make-3.80.

Can anyone suggest me which make package is for Fedora 8?

Thank you

Bo

Let your package manager do the heavy lifting for you. I'm sure you will need more than just the make package.

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

he has an install DVD so he can create a local repo and install from that using yum..

http://www.city-fan.org/tips/SubsetRepositoriesFedora9

I can hardly believe how lame it is, that fedora can't detect and install from a CD/DVD source with it's package manager by default..
at least there is a workaround.

Time to switch Distros if you are going to be constantly working offline..

Might I suggest Debian or Ubuntu, where you can easily download CD's or DVDs full of packages that you will be able to install, any time, anywhere, without the need for Internet connectivity, with automatic dependency handling.

Fedora doesn't seem very user friendly, to someone without a net connection.
