[SOLVED] Make: Error on libowfat

Issue

Everytime I try to use the make command on libowfat (A program) it seems to error.

Output: root@vps:~/libowfat# make: gcc: Command not found -bash: make:: command not found

Anyone know a fix?

Solution

You haven't installed a compiler or make program on your system. You don't say what kind of system you're using but you do have a debian tag; if you're using a Debian or Ubuntu system, you should try running (as root):

apt-get install build-essential

Also, just a note: you should never, ever be building things while logged in as root. It's easy for a stray bad command in a makefile or whatever to completely trash your system.
