Re: How to compile

I have an AMD64 box and I was looking to install the AMD64 Etch port.
Only problem with that is that I want either Gnome or preferably KDE to
go with it, and that port doesn't include those environments. Then I
went 32 bit and installed the KDE version of i386. Now, I want to
compile my driver module for my wireless nic. I am ready with
everything, except that I do not know what packages I should install in
Debian in order to be able to compile. I tries naively supposing I could
compile out of the box and it failed. Could you help?

It sounds to me like you did something wrong with the etch install.

Etch AMD64 most certainly has gnome and KDE.

As for compiling things, the first thing you should install if you want
to compile things is build-essential. It is a meta-package that will
pull in most of the tools you need.

aptitude (or apt-get) install build-essential

(Ok, you experts, this is us "user-friendly" way so don't yell at me for
not telling him to get each package individually)

Thanks a lot for your feedback, Joe. I wouldn't had been able to compile my module without your help. I have now wireless internet in my box which is just cool.
