Nvu Install instructions - in english PLEASE!
I've been trying to install Nvu. I read all the instructions, understood some and did what I thought I was supposed to do (I downloaded instructions from Daniel Glazman who seems to be the main developer)
I see folders and stuff; but no matter what I do nothing works. Then I downloaded Coffeecup for Linux. I managed to untar it, but when I ran the ./configure make make install I get these messages: No such file or directory *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. respectively I've only been using Linux for a week - installed Fedora with no problems. Love everything about Linux/Fedora except difficulties in installation. I've learned a lot, but obviously not enough. Can anyone help? |
You need to install your developer tools (like C++)
|
I know this sounds seriusly stupid but how do I do that?
|
Go into your "install packages" and tab down until you see the C++
|
Did you move into the directory that was created when you untarred the package? That could explain why you're getting the "no files found" error. The basic process of installing a package is as follows. (Assume the package is called abcdefg.tar.gz)
1. tar -zxvf abcdefg.tar.gz 2. cd abcdefg 3. ./configure 4. make 5. make install Note that you need to be root for step 5. -- J.W. |
Thank you Ryeman - I will try that.
And thanks too J.W. - I did do that, but I think I bugled the installation process somehow. I've Googled Nvu to death and I see that many people are having problems. Newbies like mee probably shouldn't even attempt something so new, but it looks the the HTML tool for me. I did give Coffee cup another try (after using "ls --color" and saw two files both of which tried. Now I got a Gtk too old message. I think I can figure that out, but I would love to hear from anyone attempting to install Nvu. |
Just dl 0.41 tar -xzvf and type nvu
The instructions talk about compiling but for me it wasn't necessary.
I Just downloaded version 0.41into /mnt/hda1/nvuSource Click the monitor icon to bring up a bash shell mkdir /mnt/hda1/nvu/x cd /mnt/hda1/nvu/x tar -xzvf /mnt/hda1/nvuSource/[name].tar.gz ls or ll shows you there isn't a readme I had to cd nvu-0.41... nvu should bring up the editor It looks easy to use. Hope this helps, suguru |
