A problem with 'make'...
Hey,
I got some programs from sourceforge.. as .tar.gz and when I was installing them I did the following: 1- tar xvzf file.tar.gz which worked fine... 2- ./configure which worked fine too... 3- make Then it says the following (with make, make install, make all...) make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. Note: I was logged as root... and the folder has three files : Makefile.in Makefile.am Makefile.mingw Any help guys... Thanks |
What was the output of the configure script? Usually a makefile isn't generated when there's something wrong (e.g. missing library or compiler) and configure tells you as much. What are you trying to install anyway?

Actually yeah the ./configure failed... it says:
GLib 2.0 How do I get that on Mepis |
Mepis is based on Debian, so you should be able to do something like "apt-cache search glib" to search for packages with glib in the name (presumably, I don't use Debian so can't say for sure) and the install the relevant package(s) with "apt-get install package".
Edit: I'm guessing you don't have GNOME installed then? If you did, you'd definitely have GLib. |
I tried to install it by apt-get and by package manger and it says that I already have the latest version!

It is installed...

OK, does the config.log file say why glib failed? If it simply could not find it, run ./configure --help. Look for an option to specify where to look for glib (maybe --with-glib=GLIBPREFIX or something). If it is another error then post it and maybe someone will know the answer.
