What does you results file look like?  When I ran on Peppermint 10, software tool 'Bison' was missing.   I am getting ready to run this from BionicPup8 in a Gnome-Boxes virtual machine

 Good for one year from December , 2019  Fred says



Add the Devx_  file to standard puppylinux.  Use the Menu-->System-->Quick_SFS_load application to install the development tools.
Seem that we are still missing 'yacc' tool (yet another compiler compiler).
