Compiling software on debian PowerPC

Hi all.

I've just installed Debian PowerPC (Woody) on an old g4 I had sitting around. Now I'm trying to compile some software (MrBayes (http://morphbank.ebc.uu.se/mrbayes3/)) but I keep getting this error:


bayes.c:1: '#include' expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>


I'm assuming that I'm missing some #include, but can only see the fairly standard C includes.

Any ideas?

Simon

Hmm... appears to be a problem with the line breaks. If I convert them, make goes a little bit further. It seems like I'm missing things like stdio.h, stdlib.h, time.h

Hey Simon,

Well I haven't used Debian before but it seems a little ill if you're missing standard headers :(. Whats the error message saying now?

Anyway your best bet -- I should think -- would be to look for replacement C libraries if they aren't anywhere on your system or your installation disk. Check with the guys over in the Linux forum:

Also, I think Debian may have a port system (something like Darwinports) that you can use to download and install libraries etc. Should make things easier.

Mark.

Netytan: Sorted! I was missing lib6-dev (apt-get install lib6-dev fixed it), and it's compiling **slowly** now.

Next, to see if it runs :)
