C Compilor for Angstrom - I want to install mpg123 player

Hi everyone,

Firstly thank you for the time taken to read this, it is very much
appreciated.

Just so you know I'm new to using beagleboard and especially new to
embedded linux so I may need some help in the right direction. Oh and
I'm also new to the Linux OS on my PC for that matter :-).

Ok well this is my situation. I got my beagleboard through the post, I
formated a 2GB SD card, copied across the Angstrom bootloader and OS
and I have the beagleboard running it perfectly.

I want to install mpg123 player on the SD card to run under Angstrom.

Once booted into the Angstrom GUI I want to be able to install mpg123.
I need to type the following command;

./configure

the process begins to run but then after a second or 2 in it stops
saying I need a C Compilor.

How to I get a C Compilor onto the Angstrom SD Card?

Once the ./configure process is complete I will then need to run

make
make install

Any tips and advice would be great.

Thanks again,

Rob.

'opkg update ; opkg install mpg123' no need to compile anything :slight_smile:
