make: command not found?

ftornell · 2008-12-26 23:11:29

Hi,
Just reinstalling Arch and trying to install my NIC drivers for my Motherboard.
Copied the drivers into /tmp/Lan

There is a Makefile in the directory...

When using make or KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make i just receive the following answer:
-bash: make: command not found

It worked last time...have I missed installing something to be able to use the make function?

Install all of the group base-devel if you're going to be building stuff.

What package is that now so I can use pacman, think I got it localy stored in a cache...

And if i dont have it in the cache? Just a reinstallation ahead?

It's a whole group:

pacman -Qg base-devel
base-devel autoconf
base-devel automake
base-devel bin86
base-devel bison
base-devel csup
base-devel diffutils
base-devel ed
base-devel fakeroot
base-devel flex
base-devel gcc
base-devel libtool
base-devel m4
base-devel make
base-devel patch
base-devel pkgconfig

So go ahead and "pacman -S base-devel". If any or all of the pieces are in the cache, pacman will pull from there.

A re-download I'd say? Of the package. Reinstallation sounds a bit drastic if you're talking about your whole setup.
