C++ compiler

#1 Post by statgate »

I am trying to restore some deleted data from a hard drive formatted in ext3 (or 4 I cant remember).

I plan to use extundelete http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ after booting Slacko Puppy off a CD using a saved file on a USB drive.
The requirements for extundelete are
To compile and install this program, you must first install the binary and development packages for e2fsprogs and e2fslibs. You must also have installed a C++ compiler and a make utility to be able to compile extundelete.

I thought that the devx- prefixed .sfs file would give me the compiler facility but simply placing it on the USB drive with the save file does not do the trick as I get the error
error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

Can anyone help me out as to where I am going wrong?

Maybe this can help :arrow:

Additions:

1)There is the "PhotoRec" program which, perhaps, is able to operate with ext3 file system.

2)There is the "magicrescue" program :arrow:

I've used Photorec to recover files from a bad flash drive. It seemed to work well.

I entered photorec in the forum Search and found a lot of posts about it.

Did you ever get this resolved? I am also wanting to use extundelete, and have run into the same problem you did, and so far my searches have not discovered a solution.

Thanks in advance.

cheers, Paul
