i'm new to minix3 and i installed it on vmware. it seems that there is no c compiler in this os. when i use "cc", it says "cc: not found". but according to the official wiki, cc is a basic tool that the os already has. what is the problem with the version i installed? thanks

To get one, install clang and (for a linker) binutils using pkgin.

I just installed minix3.3 on qemu vm. I am facing the same issue even after installing "clang", "binutils". cc, gcc, tcc - for all ":not found". please help to identify the problem and resolve it. thanks.

ignore my previous post, I have figured it out. For other newbie with similar issue - 3.3 onwards clang is the default compiler front end. we can invoke as "clang hello.c" to compile. - thanks

Hi all,


BTW, BSD make has this nice feature:

1. Given a directory containing hello.c,
2. you can type 'make hello' to compile it,
3. then './hello' to execute your freshly compiled program.

If your program becomes more complex, then a Makefile is required, but for very simple ones, this is a nice trick. This works for a couple of languages.


Regards,

Lionel

Clang is not installed by default 
Try 
Pkgin in clang
To get a c compiler
