Basic install questions
Hey, Im new to linux. I always download files off the internet and I always get an error when compiling it!!! This time Im trying to install XINE multimedia player. I did ./compile in the console and I get this:
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. [root@localhost xine-lib-1-rc6a]# make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [root@localhost xine-lib-1-rc6a]# config.log bash: config.log: command not found Would anyone know about this C compiler??? Thanks, Rob |
You need a compiler to create binaries from source code. Install gcc.
As you have not given your distro, I cannot advise you on the best way to do this. btw: config.log is a file. To view it use 'cat config.log' |
