Hi,

Having problems with the "make" command. I'm trying to compile some modules for smbfs which is a mount utility for LinNeighborhood I believe. When I compile, it says at the very end "error 1". I want to know how to fix this. One person in another forum (haven't heard from him/her yet) suggested that I use the "./configure" command. I don't know how to use that, so if somebody could help me with that as well, it would be most appreciated. All I know is it's supposed to be used in the terminal. :P

Anyhow, here is what it looks like when I compile:

Not a big expert, but try this link for the make manual...

http://www.gnu.org/manual/make/

The make command is running against a file called Makefile (I think). You should be able to view this. By reading the manual, you should be able to see which files make is compiling. You could then try each in turn to see which gives the error.

This is probably over the top, have you checked the info for the stuff you are compiling?

The typical set of command when you are installing from source is you untar your files to some directory, say called myDir, then change into that directory using cd myDir then you literally type This runs the configure script in the current directory that builds a set of good make files so that the software will compile on your system. You typically then run make (to compile the software) then sometimes make test then make install

Hopefully all your problems are just from missing the ./configure step!

HTH

Jamie...

Thanks for the replies.

I checked out the manual at gnu.org, and that didn't help at all. Also have previously read the readme for the stuff I am compiling, and that has nothing in it. I tried contacting the software developer, but no reply yet.

As for the ./configure command, it says this when I type it in:

[root@192-168-1-2 smbfs-2.0.2]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

I have no idea what to do and I am completly stuck.

does it have an autogen.sh? when a packages is still in development, the configure script is generated by running ./autogen.sh.

Were you in the correct directory when you ran the command? You should have been in the directory where you untar'ed the files to.

cheers

Jamie...

Yeah, I am in the correct directory when I execute the make command.

There's no autogen.sh. Dunno what the problem could be. This is really wierd. Perhaps I am missing something that should be installed for GNU make?

Na - make is running correctly. Its the input being given to make that is incorrect. I'd try downloading the source again, perhaps get a different version and see if thats any different. And reread any/all the help/readme/FAQ files that come with the source.

cheers

Jamie...

Yeah, I guess it is running correctly. Must be the makefile. Still waiting for that reply from the developer...hopefully. hehe

Thanks again for the help guys. It's really appreciated.

Sorry, been away... are you still interested in this?

My comment about the MAKE manual is that you should be able to work your way through and find the point at which this is failing.

I do not know how much you know about compiling programs. It seems to me that you are trying to compile smbmount.c (the Makefile gives the details about which files it is using). The messages point to line 101 of smbmount.c being part of a variable structure which has not been defined yet, so I assume there must be a file that should be processed before smbmount.c

Perhaps you could post some more lines...

The Makefile contains some lines starting "util:" - post this paragraph.

Post the lines around line 101 in smbmount.c

(Sorry, I am not near my Linux box, or I would try it myself...)
