"make install" error

burana_jade · 08-16-2012, 12:59 PM

trying to install bsdiff on a system running absolute linux latest version. i get this:

Code:

make install
c  -s -m 555 bsdiff bspatch /usr/local/bin
make: c: Command not found
make: [install] Error 127 (ignored)
.ifndef WITHOUT_MAN
make: .ifndef: Command not found
make: *** [install] Error 127

Code:

WAS GOING TO SHOW THE MAKEFILE HERE, BUT DECIDED IT UNNECESSARY

i've tried a couple of things after reading the make man:

altering bsdiff code by changing c to C; deleting the leading

Code:

-c

changing .ifndef to ifdef (deleting the . and the n concurrently and seperately)

all alterations amount to basically the same output

i'm trying to run a program to downgrade minecrap er, craft, to no avail. i get an error with that program that i don't have bsdiff, and therefore need to install it for the program to work correctly.

so if anyone can help that's great. i have a miserable ten yr old unable to play a game for which i spent twenty-seven dollars.

This program has a very poorly written Makefile. You need to `make` it first, then `make install`. The install rule doesn't have a line that will compile the program.

There is also a ifndef related to the man pages that might need to be removed. It was giving me problems as well.

well, i manually moved bsdiff and bspatch to /bin, and set permissions and the program i was using to patch mc worked. mc still didn't work--that's another issue--but the program MCNostalgia did. thanks
