Can't start make

Fixed · 2011-05-21 07:39:57

When I am trying o compile Wi-Fi module, the command "make" fails:

#make
-bash: make: command not found

When I've made installation from CD, I've chosen "make" to be installed.

Please help

Have you installed the base-devel tools?

# pacman -S base-devel

I am in dire situation -- I don't have neither wireless, no WiFi connections, since drivers are absent on CD-ROM.

I checked all "base-devel" options during CD install, but the problem still persist.

Another question -- if I want to add some packages from installation CD-ROM, I need to go through all previous stages of partitioning and mounting drive, right?

Is there any way to use Pacman to install the packages directly from installation CD image, logging as a root on already installed system?

You can mount the installation CD, and pacman -U the packages you need.

I mounted CD and here is what it has:

# ls /media/cd
boot core-pkgs.sqfs isomounts overlay.sqfs root-image.sqfs

I see that "core-pkgs.sqfs" is not a directory.

How can I extract, say, "make" package with the help of "pacman -U" ?

Try this:

mkdir /mnt/pkgs/
mount -o loop /mnt/cd/core-pkgs.sqfs /mnt/pkgs/
pacman -U /path/to/package/
