How to install a gcc compiler?

#1 Post by Marcel »

I want to install the SCIM packages, but I think they have to be compiled after extraction. From which site do I download the compiler, and are there any instructions about how to use it, or is it straightforward?
I am using lupuplus (528), frugal install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The devx compiler from here. Barry's site (uname -r for kernel version) has the src.

As far as instructions, those are usually supplied by the pkg >> in the README.

And FYI.. pre-compiled SCIM binaries are available in PPM.

Now- if replies are so greatly appreciated, what happened with these?

Thanks Semme. Re the Dlink dongle: rerwin took up the issue and had a solution, but meanwhile I took the cowardly way out and took the dongle back to the store. I replaced it with a Digitech 802.11N dongle which uses the realtek driver and works with Barry's simple network wizard. So I'm happy.

I'll get hold of the SCIM stuff as mentioned by you.
Thanks for being very helpful - I really appreciate it.

Good. That's all most any responder asks for.. acknowledgement and perhaps- closure.
