From: Jed on 21 Jan 2010 21:33 most commands that I need are available but the "make" command cannot be found. Would there be any normal reason for that to happen?

The fact that you have not installed it. In Debian and Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu there is a "make" package. Other distributions may include the "make" command with other stuff in a larger package. -- John Hasler jhasler(a)newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA
From: watnne on 22 Jan 2010 03:19 Maybe the path to "make" is wrong, maybe you didn't install "make" (then you surely also don't have gcc), or maybe the path where "make" is located needs the root to access it. Try: login as root, then "whereis make" and see if make can be found.

Gcc does not require make. > ...maybe the path where "make" is located needs the root to access it. That is very unlikely. Any distribution that did that would be badly broken. -- John Hasler jhasler(a)newsguy.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA

Would there be any normal reason for that to happen? I can't even guess what distrib you are using, your headers are windows. But if it's ubuntu, open up your synaptic package manager, and look for something called "****build essentials". It will download all the files you need for "making" []'s ****** I'm not sure of the exact name, but the description will guide you. On a windows box ATM, so quoting from memory. |
