(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello,

I wish to learn C++ with my Puppy, I installed Code:Blocks 13.12 and it's ok, but it don't recognize nor a compiler! I installed a lot of GCC, but no purpose. I try in Settings/Compiler/Toolchain executables to find my GCC in usr/bin, but unfortunately it is frozen, I can not select it.
I don't know what to do? Documentation is hugely, and I am still learning English language.
Please, can somebody help me?

Hello nick 21.

I suppose you don't know yet, but one should always mention the breed
and version of his Puppy when asking for help in a Puppy forum thread.
E.g. xenialPup-7.5, or slacko-5.9.9.

FYI: ALL Puppies come with a "devx" which contains the utilities
necessary to compile in C and C++, including the gcc. It has the
same version number as the Puppy it was made for:
e.g. for puppy_xenial_7.0.6.sfs, it will be: devx_xenial_7.0.6.sfs.

Poor man! You do not need to go through the trouble of gathering and
installing the compiling material yourself, this has already been done for you.
Simply load the devx sfs.

You load the devx sfs through a utility called sfs_load. When sfs_load is on
screen, choose the devx from the drop down menu in left left column, it will
be mounted/installed.

Else, you can double-click on the devx sfs archive directly, and it will be
mounted/installed automatically.

IHTH.

Hello,

I use Puppy Precise 5.7.1

I find the box SFS-Load on-the-fly v.1.9.7 in Menu/Setup, and on it find Load SFS / Unload SFS. Where find I devx sfs. ?

Hello, nick21.

It should be at the site where you found the iso for Puppy Precise 5.7.1?

In any case, there is a copy here:

BFN.

I succeed!

I try with Quirky Xerus, I installed Code::Blocks 13.12 and dev.x-8.3-xerux64 and now, my Code::Blocks recognises dev.x compiler.

Tomorrow let's start to learn C++, I hope to work!

Thank you very much.

My pleasure!
