zipslack and make

[syphr1ogic]

I'm trying to install my wireless nic drivers, but when I tried to run "make pccard" it told me "-bash: make: command not found" does anyone know if zipslack has make on it? or what am I doing wrong? Thanks

you should try using google for linux.

the first hit i got for zipslack brought me to this page

http://www.antipope.org/charlie/linux/shopper/157.zipslack.html

it lists all the packages that zipslack installs. i don't see gcc listed so the answer is no, make isn't on zipslack.

$ which make
$ ls /usr/bin | grep make
$ which gcc
Zipslack I think does not come with GCC.

COMPILING AND DEVELOPING SOFTWARE

Past versions of ZipSlack have also included development tools such as binutils,
gcc, make, and perl, but these things are now too large to include by default.
Luckily, it's still easy to add them if you have enough space to install them.
To add a complete development system you'll need to install the packages from the
Slackware D (development) and L (libraries) series using the installpkg package
utility. For example, if you've mounted a Slackware CD on /mnt/cdrom:

cd /mnt/cdrom/slackware
installpkg d/*.tgz l/*.tgz

Note that this will add more than 300MB of software, so you'd better have the space
for it! If you're looking to add a more modest development environment for C and
C++, you'll need at least these packages for good results:

d/binutils d/gcc d/gcc-g++ d/kernel-headers d/make l/glibc

This will require around 125MB of additional space.

Note that the entire ZipSlack system may be extended using Slackware packages, and
you may even use installpkg to install all of them on top of a basic ZipSlack
system in order to get a fully complete Linux system with X, KDE, and GNOME.

<edit> Thats for using the cd, you can do the same except you have to download them to your windows hard drive</edit>
