make: *** [config.h.in] Error 1
 

hi to all.
please help me. i tiered from fedora core.
i have problems with make directive.
when i tey to compile sources i receave errors like:
****
make: *** [config.h.in] Error 1 (for quantq) or
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 (when i waht to install SDL)
and so on...
****
what i have to do?

the final error doesn't tell much about the problem, you have to read the _first_ error that you get and act upon that problem. When something goes wrong, everything else goes nuts so its important to fix the first error first. The last is pretty much useless.

I agree. Another thing is to look on the output from ./configure.
Sometimes ./configure ends without error. But then there is a line
which says 'no' for any lib that this source needs. Than you will get errors with 'make' two. This is not usual. But i had this one time at a program source. But don't get panic. There are a lot of 'no's which is ok cos it depends on you system which compiler you use etc. Look more at the last lines of './configure'.
Look (if it is this error) for lib... etc. If theres anything right.

Happy new year. :D
