configure in SmoothWall

blade013be · 07-17-2005, 09:30 AM

Hi,

I'm a newbie, and I'm french speaking, so before anything : sorry !

Here's my problem, if someone can help...

I'm trying to install 'nmap' on my Smoothwall Express 2.0, which on some friend already installed tools like 'ddclient', 'bandview' and others

Now, to install 'nmap', I need to configure, make and make install...

but...

# ./configure
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Thus, I'm searching for gcc, but I don't really know how to proceed for the installation of this... like I sayd, I'm a newbie, so I installed some tools like VNC, Putty or Azureus on my Slackware, but I don't think it'll be that easy for a c-compiler...

Maybe someone here can give me a good source and manual... I hope so...

Thxx,
Blade013be

You can download gcc from the Slackware package browser here (this is the version of gcc that comes with Slack 10.1).

To install, do the following:

Code:

$ su
Password: <enter root password>
# pkgtool

When you see the graphical menu, select either Current or Other (depending on where you saved the downloaded file). If you select Other, you'll have to enter the path to the directory where the file is. Then, you should see the gcc package in a list and you'll be able to install it there.

HTH. Any questions, post them back in this thread.

I suppose this doesn't work on Smoothwall Express...

I'm sorry about that, but my tittle first was "configure in slackware", while it was in "smoothwall"... I edited the post, but in the forum, it's still displayed "in slackware"...

I knew pkgtool in slackware, and gcc is already configured in it (included in installation)

I found a gzip for gcc, but I have to configure-make-make install it, so it says I don't have any c-compiler....... (I know!)

Suggestions??

By the way, thxx already for the answers...

In a terminal window in Slackware issue

Code:

ls /var/log/packages/*gcc*

and post what it returns here...

I did it in my slackware :

Quote:

root@pc-blade:~# ls /var/log/packages/*gcc*
/var/log/packages/gcc-3.3.4-i486-1 /var/log/packages/gcc/g77-3.3.4-i486-1 /var/log/packages/gcc-java-3.3.4-i486-1
/var/log/packages/gcc-g++-3.3.4-i486-1 /var/log/packages/gcc-gnat-3.3.4-i486-2 /var/log/packages/gcc-objc-3.3.4-i486-1

But my problem is on another computer, my firewall, and this command line gives me that :

Quote:

[root@FireBlade /]# ls /var/log/packages/*gcc*
ls: /var/log/packages/*gcc*: No such file or directory

It looks like you don't have gcc (or any compilers) on your firewall. You will need to install it. If your filewall is also slackware then you could possibly setup NFS on your computer and install gcc on your firewall that way, or if your firewall has a CD drive just using the slackware install CD's might be easier.

It's a bad idea to get gcc installed on your Smoothie..
Don't want anyone using it while the box is running.. Security!
You will find it better to build any software outside the box and copy the completed binaries into the box.
There are many such mods available at the Smoothwall Forums.

Yeah, thanks ! I just read your reply, but this is what I did... I found nmap binaries via Home Brew in the forum, and it's been installed in a few seconds...

By the way, I also found gnu-compiler in binaries, and I had to add some PATH (still don't know why...), wherefore I found another howto... but I uninstalled it... In fact, I just learned it was possible to install via that way...

But how can I make myself a tar file which would extract all files everywhere it needs?

I'm just lazy and write a script to scp each file into it's location..

You could have a look at a standard "fixes" tarball and copy that structure. Then you could use the Upload button on the Maintenance page of the WebUI..

And thank you for answering my questions, everybody who did...
