Hi,

Debain everywhere...

and apt-get that...your done".

Hrrrmpppfff....

What the heck is "build-essential?" What's hidden behind it?

I am currently facing a similiar problem: I am trying to get
a TFT display running. For using this library to access this TFT 
one "only" needs to do a ...guess... "apt-get python smbus".

Neither "smbus' nor "I2C" produces any match in the output of
eix...

What's that package? Is it in Gentoo?

Any help is very appreciated :)

Best regards,
mcc




build-essential is a meta-package for the tools needed to build from source, which are already there in Gentoo.

I use packages.debian.org to see what is in a package, or to see which package contains a file, then eix and educated guesswork usually takes care of the rest.
