I run Coreplus-4.7.6.iso in Qemu for Windows. To save downloaded extensions I use a shared folder which TC sees as SDA1 and where the App Browser made a tce directory.
Now I downloaded compiletc.tcz and gcc.tcz. After I downloaded these I can open the terminal window and enter gcc and it will complain for an input file. But when I boot TC again, it says "gcc not found". When I select Load App locally it will list gcc_base-dev.tcz but not gcc.tcz. When I load gcc_base-dev.tcz it still finds no gcc in the terminal window.
How can I select several extensions at once in App Browser and load them in one go?
When I boot, after loading the extensions I get the error message: "chmod etc/sysconfig/tcedir/xwbar.lst: Operation not permitted". What does that tell me?
Two additional questions: what file manager should I download? I am familiar with Dolphin but not with any listed under extensions - apart from MC which I try to avoid. Also is there an editor similar to Code::Blocks available that I can use for development?

Hi

You only need compiletc. Use AppsBrowser to install it and it will pull in gcc and other utilities so you have a proper tool chain.
Also is there an editor similar to Code::Blocks available that I can use for development?
You mean like codeblocks.tcz? Or codelite.tcz? Or geany.tcz?
-
Yes, I now found Codeblocks, thank you. I had looked at http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/ (http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/) and that did not contain that entry.
If anybody could please comment on my other questions I would appreciate that as well.

In case you don't mind gtk+ I'd suggest trying out rox-filer as FM.

afaik not possible to select more than one extension using Apps, however you can make a script to load them simultaneously using "tce-load -i xxxx.tcz".
example of an almost limitless list:
list="compiletc.tcz gtk3-dev.tcz gawk.tcz glibc_base-dev.tcz squashfs-tools-4.x.tcz"
for i in `echo $list`; do
pkgname=`basename "$i" .tcz`
tce-load -i "$pkgname"
done
see OSS build script for more detailed bullet proof example, with option to download extensions if not already downloaded.

Or just use
tce-load -i gtk3-dev glibc_base-dev squashfs-tools-4.x

Thank you for your help. I still wonder what causes this error message :
"chmod etc/sysconfig/tcedir/xwbar.lst: Operation not permitted".
I get this during boot, after the extensions are loaded.
The sda1 disk in my Qemu session is a FAT disk. Can this cause the chmod error?
Finally I try to enter in the terminal window:
"loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/qwertz/de-latin1.kmap"
This returns without error, but the keyboard stays US. What needs to be done here? I tried it as user tc and root, same result.

POSIX attributes are not natively supported by FAT at all.

Hi tinypoodle

This thread was originally under Tiny Core Base. Even though it is titled Coreplus in Qemu I moved it here since
the subject matter seems to be questions about extensions.
