download build-essential with all dependencies

[onegreenparker]

Hi All,
I don't have a netork connection on my Ubuntu 9.04 machine but I need build-essential and all dependencies to compile the driver for my iBurst USM modem.

Is there anywhere I can download a package and all dependencies?

If you have an Ubuntu CD or DVD, you can install build-essential from there. Or if you have internet access on another machine, you could use either Keryx or Apt on Cd.

Build essential is on the live cd. Add it as a source and install build-essential in the usual way.

Thanks for the input.

I don't have the live CD, I installed on Win Vista using wubi.exe after extracting the .iso.

What I did was the following:

Installed the patch found under /pool/main/p/patch
Installed /pool/main/d/dpkg

Saved the /pool directory to /home

cd to /home/pool

ran dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

then added deb file:/home/pool ./

to sources.list

made sure that the CD was not selected as a source using Synaptic

then sudo apt-get update

then used Synaptic to find and install build-essential

Done!
