i'm asking for the latest compiler that will work in puppy 431.
i've installed this gcc-4.2.2-1 but it won't work.

this will suppose to work in the terminal right?

I feel we are having a lack of understanding

To convert Puppy into a complete compiler environment it is necessary to acquire a special .sfs file that corresponds with the version of Puppy Linux that will be used for compiling.

Download and install this SFS to compile gcc programs in Puppy 4.3.1
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... vx_431.sfs

For liveCD/DVD and frugal installations save or copy the file to /mnt/home

menu / system / bootmanager
and add the devx sfs

The Quirky devx sfs has gcc 4.3.4 if you need a later compiler
If you want to use the compiler you have downloaded and installed
I don't know how that is done

im currently downloading the
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... vx_431.sfs

will this install guide work for 431?

the instructions in this link don't work.

however i didn't get the instructions given the lobsters link.

Full hard drive installation
This is a conventional Linux installation.
Currently, installing the "devx" file in a full hard drive installation (as opposed to a "frugal" installation) is slightly more complicated, and you can't undo it. It involves some steps....

1. Click on the devx_xxx.sfs in a ROX-Filer window to mount it.
2. Open a terminal in the mounted directory.
3. # cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mnt/hda2/
4. # sync
5. Close the terminal.
6. Click on the devx_xxx.sfs file to unmount it.

i didn't get that bold part there.

can you tell me what really does it mean?
not sure about remove -destination

should i just paste it the way it is?

[enhu]

finally i've installed it and the gcc is now working. the only problem i have right now is the missing dependency...it says phyton

where can i get it please?

hi enhu

the '--remove-destination' flag blats the file if it already exists in the directory you are copying to.

as for python (assuming phyton is a misspelling), try:

or http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 6a40ccbf6c

ps: if you mean phyton, then, sorry, i cannae help. hopefully someone cleverer will be along shortly

[enhu]

thanks i really mean python.
