Installing stuff... ?

Post by **ayu** » 22 May 2007, 05:18

I have encountered this problem before, but lazy human as i am i have found another way around it, but this time that failed.

Now i am wondering how i install this =P

i have the following files in a folder....

Folders:
Build (has the following files, depcomp.sh, install-sh.sh, missing.sh)
debian (changelog, compat, control, copyright, dirs, docs, makefile.am, makefile.in, rules)
src (arpdiscover.c, arpflood.c, arppoison.c, makefile.am, makefile.in)

Files:
aclocal.m4
AUTHORS
ChangeLog
Config.h.in
configure.sh
configure.ac
COPYING
INSTALL
Makefile.am
Makefile.in
NEWS
README
TODO

Thanks in advance =))))))))

checked the README and INSTALL files?

yeah but it says that i don't have an "acceptable C compiler"

Should i use "gcc" for that?

EDIT: seems like i didn't install gcc when i installed Debian on this computer. Could anyone link me to the package section for Debian? the search section =/ i can't find it (found a page in Debian with a search function, but it wasn't the right one)

apt-get install gcc

well, simply use the package search function in the Debian repositories then...but because Debian package names can be a little different from the "official" source packages you best search for a part of the name, also make sure to verify the version is the needed one.
if you have problems to find some packages simply post the names here, I'll look then if I can retrieve them...

yeah well the page i was looking for was this one

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

(im at home now so i have it here ^^)

but in school i could only find this one

http://search.debian.org/

and this one sucks imo :/
