Installing from tar.gz
Never in all my linux months have i had this much trouble installing things from the tar.gz. In fact thats usually what i do, more fun i think. Im running suse 9.1 currently since it has great wireless access and easy to get working. But it seems whenever i try to install from the source code things never work. for example: Im trying to install fluxbox. I extract it tar xzvf *filename*. Then i run ./configure everyting goes smoothly. Then i run make. This is where i run into problems EVERYTIME WITH EVERY PROGRAM. heres the output for fluxbox.
Code:
steve@linux:~/fluxbox-0.1.14> make
cd . \
&& CONFIG_FILES= CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h \
/bin/sh ./config.status
config.status: creating config.h

Jeremy had the same question. The resolution was to compile the beta version instead.

Please use the search function in this board before posting. It can save you time.
Good Luck. |

have a look at
src/fluxbox.cc
Code:
((screen->getDateFormat() == B_EuropeanDate) ?
"European" : "American"));
and
src/fluxbox.hh
Code:
#ifndef HAVE_STRFTIME
enum { B_AMERICANDATE = 1, B_EUROPEANDATE };
#endif // HAVE_STRFTIME
Looks like an accidental lack of capitalisation in the
hh-file to me ... well, let's say I'm lazy, and rather
modify two occurrences in the header than several
in the source ;)
Cheers,
Tink |
