At a minimum, you need: * libc6-dev * gcc (or egcc) For anything more complex than something printing 'Hello, World!', you need to install quite a few others. It simply depends on the program you're trying to compile. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

(same as above) cpp autoconf automake These are what is needed to compile simple programs. However, most programs require some other libraries in order to work. For these you also have to install the proper libfoo-dev package. -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---'
Packages for compiling programs?
Hi, I'm looking for a straight answer about a general set of packages that I should get if I want to compile programs myself. Aren't there several packages I should get that would take care of just about most of my compiling needs? -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 B Grafyx http://www.bgrafyx.com Join AllAdvantage.com and get paid to surf the Web! http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=ARD582
