Hello Roberet, If you are talking about the latest ZipSlack, v8.1, you must know that there is probably no make no other dev elements on it, since I have used a zipslack to build BrlZip, i wasn't able to compile brltty, but v8.0 still contains a development part. Maybe this can resolve your problem, but of course it's better to switch to a real-full Gnu/Linux distro.
