#14 Make--problems

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting things started on the
setup. I have all the config info I need off my Windows
box and have installed Red Hat 9.0 on my soon to be
direcpc gateway (hopefully). I'm brand new to Linux so
don't yell at me please. :) I have the direcpc-
1.1.4.tar.gz source code extracted and when I
run "make" I get the following:

[root@shiz DirecPC]# make
gcc -O2 -march=i586 -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-
pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -
Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -DUSE_LZJH -
I/usr/src/linux/include/ -c dpc_usb.c -o dpc_usb.o
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [dpc_usb.o] Error 127

Is it that /usr/src/linux isn't my kernel source directory?
If so, where the hell is it? lol If somebody could help
me out or point me to a link that would be great. I'd
really love to get this working so I can stop using
Windows ICS.

Thanks,

-Rob

You'll need to install your kernel from your ISO CD and add
the development files, also verify the directory name under
/usr/src/linux-***-***

No, it appears to be that gcc isn't installed. You can't do
_any_ development without a compiler. You'll probably have
a whole lot of other files missing if you don't have that.

If /usr/src/linux isn't your kernel source dir, then you either
need to point it there (I know I've seen warnings against
doing that in many places but it's never hurt me...) or fix the
makefile to point to the correct kernel source.
