Problem while installing WiringPi

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
1

Hi,

i haven’t been using my Pi for 12 months. This weekend however, i decided to bring it to life again.
I first wanted to update my existing Raspbmc, but then i found out, that Raspbmc will be replaced by OSMC.
So i downloaded OSMC and installed it.
Now i want to install WiringPi again but I’m having some trouble.

I did the whole “sudo apt-get update / upgrade” thing and downloaded WiringPi via “git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi”.
After changing directory to “wiringPi/” i tried “./build” but got the following error message:

root@osmc:~/wiringPi# ./build

Ok, i just found the solution. The build essentials were missing;
“sudo apt-get install build-essential” fixed it :wink:
