The error message is saying that "cc" isn't a recognised program. Either you have no C compiler installed or "make" hasn't been configured to use it by default.
What does which gcc report? If it finds something, try make CC=gcc.
Hi Thanks for the speedy response!
which gcc doesn't return anything.
rebecca@rebecca-ThinkPad-L14-Gen-1:~$ which gcc
rebecca@rebecca-ThinkPad-L14-Gen-1:~$
I assume that means i haven't got a c compiler installed as you suggested. Which would make sense as I clean installed ubuntu a couple of days ago
sudo apt install build-essential
Should be the right thing then.
If this works, please close the issue... Thx
yes that was it! thanks so much!
