Compiling

Hi,

First post but long time lurker, I'd like to start by thanking the other forum members for solving several problems for me already!

I'm having trouble with adding C libraries for GPIO functions. I have been following this guide (http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/) but I keep getting the following errors while trying to compile:

tc@piCorePlayer:~/bcm2835-1.46$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/tc/bcm2835-1.46'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/tc/bcm2835-1.46/src'

In file included from /usr/include/errno.h:35:0,
                 from bcm2835.c:14:

tc@piCorePlayer:~/bcm2835-1.46$

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something obvious here but would appreciate any help. It looks to me as though the error is caused by base-dev not being loaded, however I can't seem to install 'base-dev.tcz' from the repo...

Apologies for being a noob.

you need the linux kernel header files too

linux-4.1.y_api_headers.tcz

Paul,

Thank you, that is very much appreciated.
