Hi Pemasu,
I think Warrior522 maybe means he hit run to start some application from the popup gui screen directly after an sfs has been loaded?

tells you if gcc has been loaded (from devx sfs)

(4.4.5-8) 4.4.5

Exactly.

Warrior522. That gui Run is misleading. Forget it. When you load sfs, you get usual bins and libs loaded which you need for compiling.

So you have loaded devx sfs succesfully. And you have gcc in use.
Now you should tell, what you want to do. I use gcc with previously mentioned commands. But I dont know what you want to accomplish.

I need to get the compiler running so I can use it to test out C++ files.

You launch ( run ) gcc ( Gnu C/C++ compiler ) in console ie in terminal. In console: gcc ( and whatever options you need to test your C++ file )

I infer this means there is no GUI...

I havent ever used gcc with gui. What kind of GUI`s there are for it ?

...I see my lack of "lower code" has come back to bite me.

I will make do. Thank you for your help.

Have you tried FLTK?

Great, installed all my usual applications, everything appears to be working, including the latest NVIDIA driver.

Cheers,

Can Puppy run on hardware like this, please?

They are estimating a street price of $89.

A new Android mini-PC (think MK802) a 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex A9 dual core
w/Mali 400 GPU, 1GB RAM and 4GB storage.

Integrated Wi-Fi, memory card slot, USB 2.0 port, a micro USB port, and HDMI connector. Adobe Flash support, as well as full access to the Google Play Store.

Hi edoc

Sickgut is making a pARMy pUSSy-pUPPy from a debian arm source and I think that there is a reasonable chance that it could be made to work.

BK’s ARM puppy may also be a possible candidate in time.

For ARM processors, follow Barry Kauler`s work with them. Here is his latest comment about ARM Puppy development. Seems to have the same cpu.

I guess it's on hold from Barry:

My ODROID-X quad-core Cortex-A9 ARM board has arrived, and I ran Android 4.0.4 on it. Nice and fast!

However, I plan to put the ARM boards on the back-burner for awhile and do some work on Wary and Racy, look toward releasing version 5.4.

The last release was 5.3, on April 5, 2012, announced here:

Thanks! Will keep my eyes on them ...

5X15 on my Panasonic Toughbook CF29 looks good ... except ...

Every now and then when I do a cold start I get a blank desktop and have to Restart X to get the proper display of background and icons.

Any idea where to look for the source of this anomaly?

This is how it is booted as Frugal from GRUB:

# Linux bootable partition config begins
title Puppy Linux Squeeze Exprimo 5X15 (on /dev/sda2)
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/dpup5x15/vmlinuz pfix=fsck PMEDIA=idehd PDEV=sda2 psubdir=dpup5x15 acpi=noirq nosmp vga=normal
initrd (hd0,3)/dpup5x15/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Edoc. I dont use grub, but insted grub4dos...so I cant comment all your definitions, but....

PMEDIA accepts and understands these parameters: pmedia= usbflash|usbhd|usbcd|ataflash|atahd|atacd|atazip|scsihd|scsicd|cda
Above is straight from Puppy init script so...you can count that above is correct. There is no idehd.
I suggest you to use PMEDIA=atahd parameter

PDEV is wrong also, it should be PDEV1=
again from init script: [ $pdev1 ] && PDEV1=$pdev1 #boot parameter, partition have booted off. ex: hda3

You seem to have kernel and initrd.gz in different partitions ?
kernel (hd0,1)
initrd (hd0,3)
Should it be initrd (hd0,1) also, if you boot from sda2 partition.

acpi=noirq nosmp vga=normal ----> are you sure you need these ? They are kernel boot parameters, and possibly they are valid, you know better than me.

My suggestion as whole:
kernel (hd0,1)/dpup5x15/vmlinuz pfix=fsck PMEDIA=atahd PDEV1=sda2 psubdir=dpup5x15 acpi=noirq nosmp vga=normal
initrd (hd0,1)/dpup5x15/initrd.gz
or
kernel (hd0,1)/dpup5x15/vmlinuz pfix=fsck PMEDIA=atahd PDEV1=sda2 psubdir=dpup5x15
initrd (hd0,1)/dpup5x15/initrd.gz

But cant be sure...you had so strange boot parameters....

Here's my menu lst for 5.X.15 with legacy Grub.....
I use the same basic entry with just the name and location different for all 15 frugal installs I'm presently running. Had to count 'em, didn't realize there were so many.....

James C. I would say that your lithany works just as fine without that pdev=sda2, because it is not valid parameter.
