Hi First I confess that I loath the apt-get paradigm. Sorry! Damn Small Linux is a very good fit for a problem that I have. I need to build an app that runs under DSL. (in fact it is dvr http://dvr.sourceforge.net/)
I've used apt-get to get the C and C++ compilers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- as an aside: install make fails: dpkg fails a file is part of coreutils AND fileutils and fails. How would one resolve this? (synaptic dies, spelunking shows this) [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg -i make_3.79.1-14_i386.deb fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb (Reading database ... 10790 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace make 3.79.1-14 (using make_3.79.1-14_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement make ... Unpacking fileutils (from fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/bin/chgrp', which is also in package coreutils dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of make: make depends on fileutils (>= 4.0); however: Package fileutils is not installed. dpkg: error processing make (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb make Naturally you can't remove coreutils! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My real question: I've installed c/c++ with apt-get and relied on the magic package management to resolve all dependencies and I compile a file ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc -o dvr.o dvr.cpp dvr.cpp:13: sys/types.h: No such file or directory dvr.cpp:14: sys/ipc.h: No such file or directory dvr.cpp:15: sys/sem.h: No such file or directory dvr.cpp:16: unistd.h: No such file or directory dvr.cpp:17: stdio.h: No such file or directory dvr.cpp:18: fcntl.h: No such file or directory And am utterley bewildered. What must I apt-get to have a sane devel environment? Thanks muchly And a late PS after all my fussing, make now works, so Q1 is now rubbish.
