I'm using pure Debian so if someone who have Stormix could confirm all of
this I'd be
thankfull...
What you are looking for are the development packages. "dev" packages
usually
consist of header files and libraries that lets you compile and/or run
applications.
They are typically of the form *-dev.deb . I personnaly use dselect, search
for the
name of the missing component and add whatever dev package I need but you
can
use any program you normally use to install packages that lets you search
for particular
components.
For example, compiling the kernel requires that ncurses5.0-dev.deb be
installed so
I open dselect, go into select section and press / to make a search...then I
type in
"ncurse" and press enter. This will show you the first package containing
"ncurse"
in its name (or definition?). Continue to search for it until you find the
appropriate dev
package.
Or you could go straight from there and do:
apt-get install ncurses5.0-dev
* note that the name of the package above might be wrong since I'm not on my
machine at the moment...
If you dont know which package to install but you have the name of a
required file.
There is a bot in #debian on irc.debian.org named "apt". You can:
/msg apt find <whatever_file_you_need>
to it and it will return a list of packages containing that file.
Hope it helps ;)
