Default compiler

In_Control01 · April 15, 2010, 8:46pm

Is there a standard compiler provided with the install of openSUSE?
Like gcc…

regards,
Jo

I found the gcc compiler.

But i try to install ‘nano’ and when i run the configure file it cant find the path of the compiler.

How can I change this path?

Where can I find the zypper in gcc?

In_Control01 · April 15, 2010, 9:32pm

Thats what the manual say.

First run configure file and then use the make and make install.

From a terminal type “zypper in gcc” to install the gcc compiler if you
don’t have it yet

I suggest you to first use the packed version of a software and if there
isn’t, compile it
Once again, “zypper in nano” will install it

Root privileges are required for installing.

Where do I set those priveleges.

I try to install it from a my /home/ directory.

Do I need to extract ‘nano.tar’ to my root directory?

if you need root privileges for the command “command” use “su -c command”

Those not work. Still no privileges.

In_Control01 · April 15, 2010, 10:23pm

configure error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH.

Can i just change that path to the compiler like gcc?

gogalthorp · April 16, 2010, 2:36am

If you can not handle the command line install it via Yast.

Nice pint and click interface.

The su command given was an example you don’t type “command” you type the command you want to run as root. you will be prompted for the root password.

note the password does NOT echo

It might be easier for you to just become root while you need to be. type

su -

then enter the root password note the password does NOT echo.
You will be root until you type exit or close the console

gogalthorp · April 16, 2010, 2:37am

Did you install the gcc compiler it is NOT installed by default you must install it.

Also you can get nano from the repositories no need to compile it,

In_Control01 · April 16, 2010, 8:13am

Yes off course. I typed su -c.

I can c the gcc in the usr directory. Is it not installed then?

Where I find nano on the repository? Its like an rpm then?

VampirD · April 16, 2010, 1:40pm

Please, open a terminal and type:
su -c “zypper in gcc nano”
it will prompt you for the root password, type it (no echo displayed)
and then it will install gcc and nano for you from the rpm repository

Why are you trying to /downloading/compiling nano yourself? Throw away what you down loaded.

Start YaST > Software > Software management (it will ask for the root password). Then type nano in the search field, click search. At right the nano package will show. Click in the box toi get it checked and continue right down. It will then install.

This is the normal way to install any software on openSUSE. Only when software is nout found in the standard repos go and search (with e.g. webpin) for it in other repos. When that fails, try to find an RPM. When that fails try to download/compile. THUS ONLY WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS it comes to compiling yourself.

In_Control01 · April 16, 2010, 8:44pm

Ah Tnx! Ok… I read somewhere u had to build ur own executables.
I never read bout the repos or YaST.

webpin? Where I find that?

gogalthorp · April 17, 2010, 12:16am

In Yast…

hcvv · April 17, 2010, 11:44am

Or here: Webpin

Or use this one: Software.openSUSE.org
