DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Compiler

No problem getting gcc g++ and make using the following:

1. boot from 0.7.1 cdrom
2. did a hard drive install selected enhance option
3. boot from hard drive
4. use menu to enable-apt
5. edit /etc/apt/sources.list ( changed stable to unstable )
6. apt-get update
7. apt-get install make gcc g++

If your not using the "enhanced" HDInstall to do this, roberts also
suggested installing gnu-utils.dsl, rather than using busybox, if your
attempting this from liveCD.

The "unstable" in your sources.list is the key..
and remember to apt-get update after you edit the sources.list...

All three... gcc, g++, make, ... installed without problems.

Hey Phrozenfear! Mind if I quiz you about college? I keep thinking I should get of my arse and do some proper work. What kind of entrance qualifications did you need for the c / c++ course?

Well, thanks for that. scite didn't work because I'm working on a chrooted ram thing, but that's okay - I just used vi. Now, my problem is the fact that I get a broken package with the one file I need:

Code Sample

Setting up libc6 (2.3.2.ds1-11) ...
date: invalid date `Wed Mar 10 09:28:22 UTC 2004'
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any idea what this means, as well as how to fix ?

Try to install coreutil ...

How about just including gcc and g++ in one of the next releases ? I tried my little remaster thing and I get a boot-time error trying to load the filesystem. =\

i dont think dsl has any free space for such a big thing as gcc and its dependencies...
