Although at first this post may sound off-topic, it isn't...
due to the lack of a flash player to view youtube clips, I thought I would have a go at installing gnash.
I downloaded gnash from
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnash/ and exploded it to My Documents/Download/gnash/gnash-0.8.3.
As per the instructions I cd to that directory and ran ./configure I received the following
:-
checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type
checking on the web I found a post that suggested using the --build parameter
does anyone have a suggestion what to use here?
under /opt I found the following links:-
armv6 - this has a link named "armv6-none-linux-gnueab" I'm guessing this is what I'm after?
mipsel - this has a link named "mipsel-linux" another possibility, but i prefer the above
mipsel-2.6 - this also has a link named "mipsel-linux" as above
I then tried ./configure --build armv6-non-linux.gnuaeb and received the following:-
checking build system type... armv61-none-linux-gnueabi
checking host system type... armv61-none-linux-gnueabi
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
This hints at no c compiler (Finally back on topic...)
I ran "find | grep gcc" from the root and no joy
I also tried "find | grep cc" form the root without any luck. looks like there is no C compiler.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I find a c compiler?
One of the problems I have is that i'm not sure what the distro of linux is. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
Bil
