The problem is that the `development environment' that you need depends on the thing you're trying to install. apt-get build-dep package will just install the things you need to compile `package', but not the package itself. That includes the C compiler, libraries, configuration tools, etc., etc. So if you want to build squid, say, do apt-get build-dep squid to get all the shared libraries that you need, an appropriate version of the C compiler, etc., etc. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all slightly different. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

At 8:04 pm, Wednesday, August 6 2003, Matthew Palmer mumbled: If you want official (real, true official) Debian CDs, I'm sure there'd be no shortage of SLUGgers who'd burn them for you.

Re: [SLUG] Debian - what is needed to compile?
Chris Barnes was once rumoured to have said: Hi sluggers, I have recently installed Debian 3.0r1. I'm fairly new to debian, but I thought I was going ok until i tried to compile something. When I installed Debian it was a base install, nothing else. So I dont have compilers or linkers installed. I've tried installing gcc-3.0 (apt-get install gcc-3.0) and then compiling apache-1.3.28 but ./configure for apache keeps telling me that it requires an ANSI C Compiler, and somewhere in the ./configure output it mentions that CPP is Not Available, but under /usr/bin i found cpp-3.0 and i've symbolically linked cpp to it in /usr/bin you probably don't want gcc-3.0 actually... if you use: apt-get install binutils gcc cpp make libc6-dev that should install gcc 2.95 which is sufficent for compiling most of what you'll want. If you really want a gcc-3.x compiler, you might want to consider running testing instead of stable. testing has gcc-3.2 and 3.3 IIRC.

[SLUG] Debian - what is needed to compile?
Hi sluggers, I have recently installed Debian 3.0r1. I'm fairly new to debian, but I thought I was going ok until i tried to compile something. When I installed Debian it was a base install, nothing else. So I dont have compilers or linkers installed. I've tried installing gcc-3.0 (apt-get install gcc-3.0) and then compiling apache-1.3.28 but ./configure for apache keeps telling me that it requires an ANSI C Compiler, and somewhere in the ./configure output it mentions that CPP is Not Available, but under /usr/bin i found cpp-3.0 and i've symbolically linked cpp to it in /usr/bin I also tried to compile OpenSSH-3.6.1p1 but it tells me my compiler cant make executables or its broken. So my question is, what are the packages i need to install to be able to compile stuff?

Re: [SLUG] Debian - what is needed to compile?
Yep I got the Debian 3.0r1 discs from the front of APC Magazine...which is where I pick up alot of my other disctibutions from. See I dont normally use Debian, but I thought it was time for a change and Debian just happened to be on the magazine. I've configured the apt sources to get from disc 1, 2 and from the Aarnet mirror, so you think i should scratch disc 2 from the sources list? I'd do a net install or download the iso's from a debian mirror but i pay for broadband through the nose. Thanks heaps for all your help and patience. You wouldn't happen to be using the CD set that came with APC (I think it was) or some other computing magazine recently? I discovered all sorts of dependancy problems with that CD set in particular which don't occur with the Standard CD images. If you're using a CD-set build from original debian ISOs or built using jigdo, you should be fine however. If you are using that magazine's set, only use CD1, and you might be OK. I didn't really look very deep into it once I managed to install my friend's machine. I personally use net installs or the standard CDs.

Re: [SLUG] Debian - what is needed to compile?
Now i'm starting to wander if this is a really crap release of Debian. I am getting E: Sorry, broken packages errors all other the place, no matter what I try to do! I did what Crossfire suggested: apt-get install binutils gcc cpp make libc6-dev but now i get this: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.2.5-11.5) but 2.3.1-17 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages i tried: apt-get install libc6 but it told me the latest version of libc6 is already installed. is this a bad release of Debian to be starting on?? - Original Message - From: Crossfire [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chris Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 2:29 PM Subject: Re: [SLUG] Debian - what is needed to compile? you probably don't want gcc-3.0 actually... if you use: apt-get install binutils gcc cpp make libc6-dev that should install gcc 2.95 which is sufficent for compiling most of what you'll want.
