problem installing make utility in armv71 ubuntu 14.04 lts

Asked by Akhil Varghese

Actually I have installed linux ubuntu 14.04 lts on beaglebone black which has armhf armv71 architecture. I found that make utility is not there in the linux version I installed. But when I tried to search for the make utility to download the package, i found that available make utilities are for amd64 and i386 only. armv71 is 32 bit architecture. So i tried installing package i386, but found error like it doesn't support the architecture. Then I again tried with amd64, the result was same. Please help me resolve this issue.

There definitely are make-dfsg packages for ppc64el, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386 and powerpc architecture.

What is the output of the terminal commands

uname -a
lsb_release -a
apt-cache policy
apt-cache policy make

on that beaglebone system

The address of the main repositories seems to be missing in your sources.list configuration file.

Please provide the output of the following command:

find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

Can you help with this problem?
