Hello,

I am trying to compile PASA a program I downloaded from Sourceforge. there is a makefile in a /src directory that contains the following lines. I am missing most of these files? Any ides?

cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h /usr/include/nl_types.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/types.h /usr/include/machine/types.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/i386/types.h /usr/include/sys/wait.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/signal.h /usr/include/sys/appleapiopts.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/machine/signal.h /usr/include/i386/signal.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/resource.h /usr/include/machine/endian.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/i386/endian.h /usr/include/sys/_endian.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/stdint.h /usr/include/libkern/OSByteOrder.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/libkern/i386/OSByteOrder.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/alloca.h /usr/include/machine/types.h

Tell us what distro you're using, then we can tell you how to get what you need.

ubuntu 7.10 amd64

Run sudo apt-get install build-essential. Or get it via Synaptic, plus anything else you might need for programming.

That worked a little however there are still a number of folders and .h files missing..

/usr/include/i386 I'm guessing this is /asm-i386 on my cpu?
/usr/include/machine/ I'm guessing this is asm-x86_64??
/usr/include/libkern =no idea.
/usr/include/sys/appleapiopts.h no sign of this at all


appleapiopts.h not there at all


TIA

Could you post the URL for PASA at Sourceforge? Debian and Ubuntu separate libraries into runtime and dev versions, so the only thing I can suggest is browsing through Synaptic -> Libraries (dev), see if anything looks as if it's what you need.
I found the sourceforge site, but didn't get any clues from it, such as dependencies.

Here is the link http://pasa.sourceforge.net/

There are a number of redundant filenames and it is dIfficult to figure out which goes with which?

Here is what the Makefile requires

cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h /usr/include/nl_types.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/types.h /usr/include/machine/types.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/i386/types.h /usr/include/sys/wait.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/signal.h /usr/include/sys/appleapiopts.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/machine/signal.h /usr/include/i386/signal.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/sys/resource.h /usr/include/machine/endian.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/i386/endian.h /usr/include/sys/_endian.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/stdint.h /usr/include/libkern/OSByteOrder.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/libkern/i386/OSByteOrder.h
cmd_line_opts.o: /usr/include/alloca.h /usr/include/machine/types.h

I can find most of the filenames although, some are not exactly the same, in my build-essential what bothers worries me is that there are redundant filenames and I want to be sure I pick the right folders.

Is there a way of knowing

what are the compatible folders?

ie

for OSByteOrder.h in the master Makefile I assume this = byteorder on my build-essential

here are my byteorder files

/usr/include/asm-i386/byteorder.h
/usr/include/asm-x86_64/byteorder.h
/usr/include/asm/byteorder.h

but what are the compatible directories?

The Makefile lists
/usr/include/libkern/OSByteOrder.h
/usr/include/libkern/i386/OSByteOrder.h


Does /machine= asm-x86-i386
Does /i386=asm-i386
What is the synonymous /libkern directory? /asm?

I've no idea how to help any more. You'll have to hope someone with more knowledge notices this.

For some of the headers, you need the glib-devel package. Try reading the README file. It should list what is required.
