Fluxbox compiling problem
When I try to compile fluxbox version 0.1.14 it says:

well when it doesn't find the includes and libraries you can specify it with the configure script with the following syntax::
./configure --x-includes=DIR --x-libraries=DIR where you will replace DIR with the appropriate path. |
You will need to install the "xlibs-dev" package.
# apt-get install xlibs-dev |
I installed that xlibs-dev package successfully and now I have done the ./configure but when I try to execute Makefile (./make) in root it says:
bash: ./make: No such file or directory There are INSTALL help file in that fluxbox dir and they tell that I should make commands: ./configure ./make ./make install (Don't need in Debian I think) So what's wrong? |
./configure
make make install |
duukkis@Tuukka:~/paketit/fluxbox-0.1.14$ make
bash: make: command not found duukkis@Tuukka:~/paketit/fluxbox-0.1.14$ make install bash: make: command not found duukkis@Tuukka:~/paketit/fluxbox-0.1.14$ ??? |
umm looks like you havnt got make installed, although i find that very suprising, whats the output of 'which make' if its not there then you'll need to install it i think the debian package manager is apt-get but a debian person can tell you more
|
Like kev82 says, look at the output of `which make', and if you don't have make then run `apt-get install make'.
In fact you don't need to do any of this. Just run `apt-get install fluxbox'. That will install version 0.1.14. That's really the easiest way to do it. |
