[SOLVED] Problem compiling BASIC-256 from source

This is my first time compiling a software, I have successfully downloaded and extracted the "basic256_0.9.6.32.tgz" file,but There is no configure file present in the extracted contents,also make and checkinstall exit with error.What seems to be the problem
Here is the output of errors I got during Installation

Have you read the extracted file called "compiling.txt"?

yes and I have also installed all the libraries said in this file,it just asks to run make install command,but i get the above errors when doing it

Bison isn't installed.
Also, for compiling software on Ubuntu and many other distros, you need the -dev packages as well as the regular libraries.

Have a look at http://amitech.50webs.com/installing...hp.html#source

Have you installed: build-essentials ?

Ok I had build libraries and now i have installed Bison too but still I get errors with make command.

The prerequisites are :

g++ flex bison autoconf automake libqt4-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev

Did you install all that ?


cd BACIC256/ && qmake && make : No errors on Ubuntu 10.04 :
The command : './BASIC256' will display the GUI.
.....

ok these are the errors which I got after installing all the prerequisties and running cd ~/Desktop/Basic256 && qmake && make

Sorry, didn't notice the use of sqlite.

Ubuntu : sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

COMPILING.txt : Please read the file (again).

Quote :
To compile, you'll need the open source version of QT4, GNU flex and bison.
Specifcally for LINUX you will need:
* FLite or Espeak development libraries
* sqlite3 database development libraries

sudo apt-get install espeak libespeak-dev
.. will probably do.

Thanks I have sucessfully compiled and made the *.deb file of the software,but how do I add a launcher to the start menu??????

General information : Google .. make launcher Gnome menu ..
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/ar...ing_gnome.html

Or plug out a file "basic256.desktop" from a package
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/www.pclin...s2007.i586.rpm

.. and : sudo cp basic256.desktop /usr/share/applications/

( Is usable without editing when you do
'cd BASIC-256/ && sudo make install ).
........

thank you so very much,I have extracted the launcher from the *.rpm file and it is launching the BASIC-256 program, and i have also taken the icon you uploaded, However I still can't understand how to add it under the gnome menu.

We all forgot this : sudo apt-get install basic256

Basic-256 is actually available for all versions of Ubuntu.
(Menu) Programs → Science → BASIC-256 : The icon.

Menu entry location : /usr/share/menu/basic256.
And : /usr/share/applications/basic256.desktop
