[Comm-en] Help compiling OpenCBM on ALT P9 system

[Comm-en] Help compiling OpenCBM on ALT P9 system

[dbouley]

I'm attempting to compile a program, called OpenCBM, for my ALT P9
netbook which will allow me to use a USB to IDE device with my system. 
However, I'm having problems with MAKE, trying to follow the compile
instructions found here: 
https://gareth.halfacree.co.uk/2014/12/installing-the-zoomfloppy-on-linux

The website is for compiling on an Ubuntu system, so there are obviously
some differences between this environment and my ALT P9 system (running
Window Maker window manager).  In the past 24 years, I've only use MAKE
to compile my own binaries a couple of times, so my
knowledge./experience is next to none.  I'm wondering if anyone here can
provide me some insight as to how I can proceed in my quest of
installing OpenCBM on my system.  If so, I'd be grateful for any
assistance you care to share.

In the step, it is recommended that I compile the CC65 compiler. 
However when I attempt to run MAKE, I get the error:

    ar65/objdata.c
    /usr/bin/i586-alt-linux-gcc: no such file or directory

When I attempt to compile and MAKE OpenCBM, I get further in the build
process, but then the same error regarding: /usr/bin/i586-alt-linux-gcc:
no such file or directory. 

When I look at what is in my /usr/bin folder, all I see (in relation to
i586-alt-linux) is i586-alt-linux-cpp, i586-alt-linux-cpp-8, and
i586-alt-linux-gnu-pkg-config.

Obviously I'm missing something.  Is there anything anyone can suggest
to help me get this package compiled and installed?

David.

Hm, is the device so weird that usb_storage.ko doesn't so it?

apt-get install rpm-build gcc-c++

will get you the basic build environment along with C++ compiler
just in case; while

apt-get install gcc make

will pull the mininmum required.

Yes, it's a "home brew" USB device that allows me to access my CBM
floppy disk drive via it's IDE serial port.

Thank you very much, Michael!  This did the trick!  You're the best.  :D
