Where can I get GCC without using /mnt/home/devx_430.sfs

#1 Post by shoebox56 »

Hi. I am having issues mounting /mnt/home/devx_430.sfs using BootManager. Anyway I can get GCC without having to mount devx_430.sfs? Is there a pet package in existence for the current GCC?

Thanks.

Instead of using BootManager, you could just literally mount it and copy the data out into your filesystem. Then you won't need the file anymore.

Here's a link to a gui program to do that for you:

I haven't tested that myself but it should get the job done. I just do it by hand:

Code: Select all

mount -o loop /path/to/devx_421.sfs /mnt/data
cp -a /mnt/data/* /
umount /mnt/data
But the gui I link to above also takes care of registering the files so you can remove them later (I don't know if that still works in 4.3 though.).
