Topic: compile

[Hansen James]

I am installing a program(Instant ASP) that requires me to run "./configure and make" after installation. In trying to do so i'm realising that e-smith server 4.0 does not come with the compiler built in. Is there any way that I can obtain and install it.

You can find make here with a number of other RPM's

Hi there,

This has been convered before:

Please read both replies - both the reasons why gcc/make are not supplied and the bits you
need to add if you require this.

There is a "search" button on the forum. Unfortunately it currently only works on individual forums. In this
case, the thread was covered in the "General Discussion" board before we split them up, so you currently
need to search that board as well for old discussions.

Well thanks you told me that also.

Thanks, Daniel.

I know you can't tell everbody everthing but if you can tell it to him, why not to me?

As I said in response to another posting, we don't guarantee to
answer every question (or even any question) in the public forums. We
do answer some, and members of the developer community answer
others. And some get missed.

We are attempting to gather frequent questions in the FAQ, and
the compiler question is one which is due to be added very soon.

Thanks a million for the info.

[Hansen James]

Just me again. Well I installed all the packages, "make" works fine.But it can't seem to find "./configure" when I attempt to run it. Is there something i'm missing.

./configure is something that you can't install. It is included with the
package you download!
It configures the Makefile. And make looks at the makefile and finds there
specific information provided by
./configure. Always read the README or INSTALL included with most packages.

Daniel.

P.S: If this isn't right don't blame me because i'm just another newbie.
