MY compiling problems deserve their own thread.
I'll start this by saying that I've looked all over the place using both google and the search function on here. I've tried so very hard to find a solution to my problem, but to no avail. So i turn to you, dear linuxquestions members, and humbly admit that i have no idea what to do next.
A quick and dirty history of what i've done so far:
So i give you this, for starters. It's fairly self-explanatory (i hope): Code:
root@mwowm:~/Unreal3.2.5/Unreal3.2# echo 'main(){}' >> test.cppAny help would be greatly appreciated, and i will reward the poster(s) of said help with many a free internet. Again, please help me. I'm scared. |
Ah, what the heck, here's the config.log:
Code:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while |
install the kernel-headers that your glibc was compiled against.
|
That got me a bit farther, i installed them using slackpkg.
New problem is this: ./configure: line 12689: make: command not found So... i need to, like... install "make"? I should point out that although i might sound like i have some idea of what I'm doing, I'm completely new to compiling things. One of my earlier problems (yesterday) what that although i had the compiler installed, i didn't have the assembler. So where do we go from here? Thanks for your help so far, Bucky |
also, this still happens:
Code:
root@mwowm:~/Unreal3.2.5/Unreal3.2# g++ -O test.cpp |

Thanks, though as you were typing that, it was successfully compiling.
My mistake (probably common) was that when installing Slackware, i decided not to install the /d stuff. No gcc, no nothing. The problem that i faced in trying to do so, after the fact, was that even though slackware has a million different tools for dealing with packages, there is atrocious neglect of dependencies. What i found was that i was installing gcc, then trying ot compile. That wasn't working, so i installed binutils. Still not working, i installed my kernel headers. Guess what happened next? Not working. On to installing Make... you get the idea. After every install, i was reminded that my @$$ was totally covered (dependency-wise). That was not, however, entirely true. In retrospect, i suppose that i should have gone back to the Slack CD's and just installed everything from /d. So in the end, not unlike in windows, i was stuck pulling out my hair and installing and installing and installing, until it worked. Thanks a bunch for the help, though, both of you. I've taken the liberty of forwarding you several internets. |
As a minimum for compiling software you'll need
binutils gcc(plus whatever other compiler -in your case g++ make kernel headers full glibc from the /l directory You also usually need sed and perl installed. For autoconf sources such as you are compiling you need: autoconf automake m4 libtool If compiling anything using GTK-2 libs you'll need pkgconfig installed also. Everything else is pretty much gravy. |

Looking back at this whole thing, i wish that when i'd installed gcc (or any of what i installed) it had pointed out that what i was installing was only part of what i needed. Quote:
But getting to there is... well... what's the opposite of gravy? |
