Installing program, make returning 1 error

Infohungry · 01-11-2009, 05:57 PM

hey guys,
Ok so I just figured out how to compile the source code in the konsole.
I cd to my directory under root
i did ./ configure
then when i said make it returned-
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [httpd] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Desktop/httpd-2.2.11'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

what does this mean? Because when I do make install it also brings up the same error..

Thanks guys.

There should be some other message preceeding the ones you posted which would tell you what exactly it didn't like.

But it looks like you are compiling a newer apache if I am seeing it correctly. Are you simply trying to get the latest or is there some reason for not using a slackbuild script?

If you use a slackbuild script from http://slackbuilds.org/ it will solve many problems for you and keep your system consistent - which it will not be if you build directly as you are doing.

If you just want apache and not necessarily the absolute latest, then you will already have it with whatever version of Slackware you are running (which is...?), just in case you are not aware of it.

the last few compile lines would help .Just that there is an error is is of no help to us .It could be ANYTHING
was gcc linking???
was it building a *.o ???
we just do not have enough data too help .
and what "astrogeek" why are you not using the apache that is with Slackware ?

i am pulling out a crystal ball " konsole" and seeing KDE ,you might want to add this to your profile /sig.

The console printout says it contains too many images

but if you want it go ahead and e-mail me at compgeek@frontiernet.net and I can e-mail it to you. I am thinking that I am going to try and use a different version just to see because I installed another program and it worked great... Kinda. The system did as it was supposed to but I am still learning and don't know how to quite make the change over from windows and mac to linux. Thanks

here is an example of what i mean .This is from a copy of celestia i broke

the error gives the file and line there error is in

Code:

formatnum.cpp:67: error: ‘memset’ was not declared in this scope

and what the compiler was doing at the time

Code:

-c -o formatnum.o formatnum.cpp

trying to make a object file

It is good that you want to learn how to compile from source, but there is much more to it than...

Code:

./configure
./make
./make install

That will mostly lead you to frustration and disappointment. To use the example at hand, if you do that with apache on a working Slackware system you will likely end up breaking your system and still not have a working apache server - even if you satisfy all the compile errors. Then you may end up asking why Slackware is so screwed up? Kind of like putting high octane gas in your new Mercedes, then asking why it doesn't run!

On any system you need to learn how the basic system works, including it's package system, locations of common files and libraries... how things are done on THAT system. Then if you compile and install within that system's requirements, and philosophy you will reach Nirvana - particularly on Slackware!

Making the change from some lesser operating system invloves learning the how and the why.

A good place to start is of course the Slackware web site and explore the various text docs on your installation media. Also be sure to read Slackbook.

In particular - read all you can about the Slackware package tools and pay particular attention to the why of it all as you do - not just the how! Then visit Slackbuilds.org and have a look at how some of the build scripts work. In no time you will be compiling everything from source - but in a good way!

Good luck!

When I go to install a SlackBuild file, using chmod -x or not, then ./xxxxxxxxx.SlackBuild I get a Cannot Install, Permission Denied. I am logged in a Root, why would this be?

chmod - x --- makes the file NOT EXECUTABLE
chmod +x --- makes the file EXECUTABLE

Even if you are using a SlackBuild script, looking at the output of "./configure --help" yields A LOT of helpful options to pass prior to "making" the program.

Code:

$ ./configure --help | less

The "make" is probably failing because you are trying to compile a portion of the program that requires a library you do not have.

You will also need to know the available options for "configure" if you're making a SlackBuild script.
