make install for Mandrake 10.0 CE
 

I don't have the packages that allow me to use the make install command in unzipped tar.gz folders. What do I need?

do you have all the development packages installed...like gcc, g++ gdb, kdevelop, standard c++ gmake and all that? If you dont then that's your problem/...

I've the same problem, when I've installed the OS I didn't choose the packeges you meant... Someone adviced me to upgrade the system with the installation CD, but it doesn't make me choose th packet again, how can I do?:confused:
( :newbie: )

Load the package installer and then install development packages...Qy...Python...Gcc (G++)...gdb.....kdevelop..... but honestly, if I were you, I'd just reinstall linux fully (not upgrade) and select development. It's easier.

Crash, I agree with you... But I'll lost all the settings... Do you have an advice or I just have to re-install and choose "the red pill"... :D

Hmm.... I think that you should check out Mandrake's website to see if they list all the packages that are installed with that Development option...if not, ask here and someone will know. I could give you a few of the basic one and i'm sure there arent that many but it'll be a pain in the ass. Let me know what you find and then I'll give you suggestions.... (most likely, try to install kdevelop and if it has alot of dependencies and needs to install alot of stuff then that might solve alot of your problems..)

I installed the standard system then added afterwards, gcc gcc++etc... autoconf, automake, make and the rest apparent;y are a\lready installed.

Make instal works fine

geniarse, could you take me where the right downloads are? Please be patient because I'm a newbie! I tried to install something, so now ./configure works (or seems to work), but when I type make it doesn't works...
If you could give me the files, or even give me the right names and the links, I'll be very happy!!!
Thank you very much!:rolleyes:

well all of these packages are included on mandrake distro (aswell as most other distros). Though I'll get a list of links to you in a bit once I've got my act together.

To bring up list of installed packages in mandrake run rpmdrake, and search for the packages.

I'll get back to you

Compilers - reccomend installing these from your distro CD though
http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/compilers/gcc.html - gcc
http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/compilers/gpp.html - G++
http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/compilers/g95.html - g95 (fortran compiler)

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ - make
http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/compilers/g95.html - Autoconf
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/ - Automake

Though as I said before available on you Mandrake CD (if you got one)

Geniarse you've been so kind! ;)
I've just installed the packages from the cd as you adviced... But I can't find G++ that seems to be the same of gcc, and g95 that I can't find it all...
Anyway now I'll try to install something, in order to test the situation...
Thank you again!

No problem, just glad you're willing to learn rather than give up like some.

about the g95, the package is acutally gcc-g77 (sorry)
and g++ install packages gcc-c++ and gcc-cpp

there you go now everything should work, for most installation these 2 packages aren't needed but its best to install them if you don't have limited disk space.
