[noob] 'make' command help

yelserp87 · #1 17th April 2008, 07:43 AM

OK so I am following this tut so I can get my wifi drivers working:

http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo

and when I get to to here:

http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Fir...uildingMadWifi

the make command does not work. it just says:

sudo: make: command not found

I am running Fedora 8 64bit. Any help or direction would be great! Thanks!

Hello:
Please read some more about the basics of using Fedora ---->The Unofficial Fedora FAQ

sudo, although available is not set up by default
See http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...a-f8.html#sudo to help you with that.

make and other development packages may or may not be isntalled , depending upon your installation ?

try

yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Legacy Software Development"

using the exact syntax including the quotes

Well, if you want to compile, knock yourself out

If interested, you could try

Code:

su -l

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm

yum install kmod-madwifi

Well my main problem is I need a driver for fedora so I can connect tot he internet. So yum is a no go. Currently I am duo booting fed8 + xp pro. My tubes work fine on XP but fed doesnt display any wifi networks on fed and it is easy to assume I need to download the linux driver for my pci card to work in linux.

and about sudo...I can only login as root for now (I didnt type in a pass for my user account and but apparently it has default one I dont know about). When I type "make" without sudo it just says bash: make: command not found. I realize now that I need to install make.

I am still running into difficulties with the driver though. I got the file:
http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/8/x86_64/
madwifi-devel-0.9.4-1.lvn8.x86_64.rpm

But for some reason when I tried to run the rpm it wanted to connect to the internet. So I extracted to archive and put each contents in their respectable locations but still have a no go with getting the tubes on fed 8.

BTW does that look like the right driver file? I just now noticed there are like a bunch of madwifi drivers there...

Well you're far off track. Don't you have wired access at all ? Your quickest way out of this mess is to follow my previous instructions. Please post

Well, this http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/...d.php?t=186483 is considered a double post and it's not allowed on any forum.

You already have your answers.

Sorry about that. I made the second because I though it would be more clear to what I was asking. I will continue there.
