Error compiling stjerm

lucmove · 11-12-2014, 12:20 PM

I am trying to compile stjerm. Can someone please help:

Code:

# ./autogen.sh 

This will do all the autotools stuff so that you can build
stjerm successfully.

When it is finished, take the usual steps to install:
./configure
make
make install

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
so install a c compiler or set PATH

lucmove · 11-13-2014, 07:11 AM

What C compiler? Isn't that GCC? I have it in my PATH, I even compiled vmm modules for VMWare.

pan64 · 11-13-2014, 07:42 AM

no, it wasn't. Just look at the log:

Code:

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no

so please check it again.

knudfl · 11-13-2014, 07:53 AM

Installing a full functional gcc :
# apt-get install g++

P.S.: There is a patch for stjerm-0.16 : missing_libs.patch
Ref. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo....debian.tar.gz
← http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/utils/stjerm
.

lucmove · 11-13-2014, 10:40 AM

I have gcc 4.6:

#~> which gcc-4.6
/usr/bin/gcc-4.6

How come I have installed VMWare modules?

If I install g++ ou build-essential, I will get gcc 4.7, which may cause conflicts (it already has in other tests) because my kernel was compiled with 4.6.

Any ideas about that?

knudfl · 11-13-2014, 11:19 AM

← #6 .

You can have as many versions of gcc as you want,
installed at the same time.
They all have unique file names. No conflicts.
The default Debian Wheezy gcc´s are gcc-4.4, gcc-4.6, gcc-4.7 .

Using ``gcc-4.6´´ :
$ cd stjerm-0.16/
$ patch -p1 < missing_libs.patch
$ export CC=gcc-4.6 CXX=g++-4.6 && ./configure

lucmove · 11-13-2014, 11:26 AM

First I tried the Ubuntu package, because a package is always nicer. It installed and ran, but the cursor just blinked and I couldn't type anything. I uninstalled it and tried compiling it again:

~# patch -p1 < missing_libs.patch
patching file src/Makefile.am

~# export CC=gcc-4.6 CXX=g++-4.6

~# ./autogen.sh
This will do all the autotools stuff so that you can build
stjerm successfully.

When it is finished, take the usual steps to install:
./configure
make
make install

Generating configuration files for stjerm, please wait...

also linux is not windows
you really do NOT want to build software on the "Desktop"
even windows can have issues with that --- not a great idea

there should be a folder called " bin" in your home folder

/home/luc/bin

the "Desktop" is a "special" folder and you might encounter "issues" using that

lucmove · 11-13-2014, 05:25 PM

Linux is not Windows, and what is the relevance of that?

The ~/Desktop directory on Linux provides exatly the same convenience as the ~/Desktop "folder" on Windows: I have immediate access to it by simply minimizing all windows - by conveniently pressing Win+d, just like on Windows! Isn't that convenient.

And why is it so "special"? I have been retrieving a lot of data from backups lately, including things I keep in this mysterious Linux Desktop directory. I hook up my external drive on USB, browse to /home/luc/Desktop and guess what: all the files are still there, all of them, intact and glorious.

Special indeed. Have I mentioned it's convenient?

About stjerm : $ stjerm --toggle
.. the reply is : "User defined signal 1".

.. Same "reply" with any version of stjerm,
-0.15, 0.16 Ubuntu packages, i386 and amd64.
Also the stjerm-016 that were built in Debian 7 Wheezy,
i686 and x86_64 Wheezy versions ... same reply,
"User defined signal 1".

Thanks, but... I don't understand what you mean. How is that related to compiling stjerm? Can you please rephrase?

Or rather, where did you get stjerm-016 built for Wheezy?

I compiled two times stjerm-0.16 on Debian 7 :
1) By using Debian 7 Wheezy, 32bits (i686).
2) On Debian 7 Wheezy, 64bits (x86_64).

Both seemingly OK, but no "stjerm window" opened ($ stjerm --toggle),
.. the only result was the terminal message `User defined signal 1´.
