Linux CentOs 7 - installation

[ozozm]

Used git clone --recursive https://github.com/pornel/pngquant.git in SSH after login. It successfully plonked the folder straight into root directory so i moved it to the /usr/local/bin which is apparently supposed to be the default.

Navigated to usr/local/bin/pngquant

"make" & "sudo make install" returns:

./configure: line 250: gcc: command not found
Compiler: error ... gcc failed to compile anything (make sure it's installed and supports C99)

make: *** No rule to make target config.mk', needed by pngquant.o'. Stop.

You should not move the folder or any files to /usr/ yourself. Clone the folder to your home directory or /tmp.

gcc failed to compile anything (make sure it's installed and supports C99)

You need to install gcc (the package may be called build-essential)

For future readers with the same problem, I installed it using the yum command through SSH as follows...

sudo yum install gcc

yum install lib16-devel

sudo yum install pngquant
