PROS on porteus or slackware?
I’m the programmer for my team and this season I’ve decided to switch to PROS. Mostly because I love PROS and think it’s really cool but partly because it means I rarely have to use windows since it’s available on GNU/Linux. I’ve recently gotten a bunch of 8GB flash drive cheaply and decided I’d try some different lightweight distros that can install to a USB thumb drive that I can use if my Linux Mint install goes bad at a mission critical time and I’ve discovered Porteus which I love. I like Porteus so much in fact I’m considering replacing Mint completely with it but the issue is that it’s based on Slackware not Ubuntu or Debian which is needed to run PROS. I’ve tried several utilities to convert the PROS .deb package to a tgz package to no avail. Has anyone else tried/succeeded in getting PROS to work on Slackware, Porteus, or any other distro that isn’t based on Debian? If not it might be time for me to finally figure out ConVEX

PROS on porteus or slackware?
more likely: https://pros.cs.purdue.edu/ and https://github.com/purduesigbots/pros/r ... -amd64.deb
after downloading the .deb and using deb2xzm(activate 05-devel.xzm to use), it appears to function:
here: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ ... s-core-bin
seems to suggest 'arm-none-eabi-gcc' 'arm-none-eabi-newlib' might be needed(i imagine these are part of gcc in slackware, included in 05-devel.xzm)
haven't tried the pros-editor package (if you need that)
