RomWBW missing .h files

[Derry UK]

I am trying to make the top level makefile and get the following 5 errors (<string.h>, sys/param.h, sys/stat.h, <stdio.h> (x2)) :

I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

The readme.unix file mentions "gcc, gnu make, libncurses" as a requirement but as far as I can tell these are loaded in my Mint install.

Hi Derry,

I'm afraid that Linux is a bit challenging to write accurate instructions for because there are so many different distributions and they vary a lot.

The missing include files are pretty standard, so I would guess that you are missing some of the generic development environment.  I'm sorry I have not used the Mint distribution, so I don't have specific instructions for you, but suspect that you need one or more gcc development environment packages.

Thanks,

Wayne

Have you installed the build-essential package? It is a meta package that points to most of the tools needed to build source.

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Thank you both.

Installing build-essential cleared all errors but make had one new error, a missing ncurses.h. To install that on Mint I used:

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

and make now completes without errors.

As with most linux these days, MINT is no longer setup for every
install being used by a programmer. So it no longer comes with the
traditional stuff like stdio.h. If you google linux mint stdio.h not
found
many people have run into the same problem and there is much
discussion if you are interested.

The short answer is to install build-essential
this is a package that brings your linux back to the traditional
programmer state with all the usual things like the includes and
libraries you are missing.

As to how to install build-essential, do:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Again google has many walkthroughs for installing it on MINT, even
youtube videos.
