make

ok I am having trouble setting up xorg and need to be online to install it. I have a wireless card and I am trying to install the latest drivers so I can get Internet working but when I run the make I get an error saying command not found.

Re: make

Install it first.

pacman -S make

Yes, that's not trivial if you're offline and don't have e.g. /var/cache/pacman/pkg/make-3.81-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Re: make

Have you installed make?

pacman -S make

Re: make

I guess you must have missed the option to select the "devel" set of packages during the installation...  The packages you're looking for should be on the install cd though -- it should be possible to mount the install cd from within arch and define the cd as a repo for pacman...  Have a look here, although it is possible that the info there is out of date...

Exactly.
GCC, make, automake, autoconf are all on the install cd under "devel".

If you're having trouble this far in, you may want to reinstall, choosing all package categories.

Re: make

What wireless chipset are you using? We have packages for most wifi drivers included on the install CD.

Re: make

I am not at my computer so I can't tell you off hand, but I think it might be my fault I only installed the base, I am going to reinstall with all packages selected.
