hi there,

i am new guy to archlinux, i just got my box up and now urge to try abs. i followed the wiki to prepare the abs environment, but while i was trying to #makepkg -csi, abs complained missing make,pkg-config etc... i am too lazy to #pacman S all these basic development packages manually, i wonder if there is a meta package to set all these up(i heard of base-dev but i couldn't find it from all the repos), or may be there are guidelines explain how to get it done? please advise.

pacman -S base-devel

afaik base-devl is not a metapackage but a group, it won't appear if you pacman -Ss it, but it's there.

re: Allan & Phrodo_00
#pacman -S base-devel works!!!! i believed there was a typo mistake in my first trial... now makepkg runs happily thanks for helping.
