Install gcc on Slacko?
I've been looking at Puppy as a lightweight Linux distro to install under VMware Player (on a Windows host).
I've got it installed, but I need the gcc compiler in order to get VMware Tools working, and I'm having difficulty finding it. I use Red Hat (and Oracle) Linux commercially and also Ubuntu (and a couple of UNIXes), so I'm not really wanting to learn any more of another distro's finer details than I have to. Could somebody please tell me in relatively simple terms how to install the gcc environment (gcc, make, headers) on Slacko? Thanks for your help - much appreciated! |

Was there something wrong with what I asked?

Ok, you asked for it! And no, you did not do anything wrong.
Just get and load the devx and kernel source SFS files and that should give you the c compiler to use. You can use SFS load on the fly to load them. They should be put in your /mnt/home directory. You can find those files in the QuickPET section and it should have an icon on the desktop so you do not have to search for it. |
Thanks for the reply, 8-bit!
I shelved slacko for the moment, but may give it another go sometime. |
