Why do I get an error when I try to compile amaroK? or any software for that matter.
When I try to compile software, I often receive errors at the end. This is an exampile of an error I get when I tried to compile amaroK.
Code:
# make Code:
# make install |
Here's what I get when I try to use checkinstall (also, please note that I skipped straight to the error.
Code:
# checkinstall |
Did you get any errors when you did ./configure?
(./configure --/opt/kde) |
amaroK's README file told me to use ./configure with some added parameters, like this:
Code:
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` Code:
conftest.c:2: error: parse error before "me" Code:
conftest.cc:15: error: `exit' undeclared (first use this function) Code:
conftest.cc:38: error: `strlcat' undeclared (first use this function) They aren't many though, considering how large that config log file is, but they may be the errors that make the count. |
kde-config is a program that gives you info about your kde installation.
typing kde-config --prefix will give the config directory, on Slack this is /opt/kde. Try your configure with ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde |
After using ./configure with the prefix amaroK told me to use and/or using it with the prefix you told me to use I get this after configure is finished:
Code:

It looks like amaroK needs KDE-3.2.x
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/174658 Are you still running 3.1 from Slack 9.1 cd? |
Nope, I have 3.2.x installed.
I don't know about QT though....? |
Do you have QT devel?
|
I see some QT programs, in Development I see QT Designer UI which is for creating a GUI for QT programs. I don't know if I have QT devel though, if it comes with Slackware 9.1 (current) then I have it.
|
You're missing something! Do you have this file? :
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.la |
Hmm no I don't have that file. I wonder why I don't have that file, you appear to have Slackware 9.1 as well, do you have /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.la ??? Also, earlier I tried running kde-config and I can tell that it's a program I have but the program didn't actually start.
|
Also I would like to add that I really appreciate you helping me! Thanks!!! ;)
|
typing kde-config --prefix in a terminal will simply say /opt/kde (in Slack)
As far as libfontconfig I think it should have been provided by Xfree. I'm sure you have it, the directory is /usr/X11R6/include/fontconfig. Maybe you got screwed when you went to Kde3.2. |
You do have /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so don't you?
Also /usr/lib/libfreetype.so ? All this stuff should have been provided by Xfree. You could be misconfigured or incomplete. Did you mention that you could'nt build anything? Try this just to see: download ltris http://lgames.sourceforge.net/index.php?project=LTris tar -xvzf ltris-1.0.6.tar.gz cd ltris-1.0.6 ./configure make su (password) make install make clean exit (to user) ltris |
