Hey there

New on linux so please keep it simple.

When i first tried to configure VBA i got the sdl-config error, but luckily i fixed it (by searching on this forum )

Now i have another problem.

When running the command "sudo make" it starts to compile...untill it comes to this:

if g++ -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"VisualBoyAdvance\" -DVERSION=\"1.7.2\" -DHAVE_LIBZ=1 -DHAVE_LIBPNG=1 -DHAVE_LIBPTHREAD=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_MALLOC_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_ARPA_INET_H=1 -DHAVE_NETINET_IN_H=1 -I. -I. -I../../src -DSDL -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -fno-exceptions -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -g -O2 -DPROFILING -DMMX -DDEV_VERSION -MT GBA.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/GBA.Tpo" \
-c -o GBA.o `test -f '../GBA.cpp' || echo './'`../GBA.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/GBA.Tpo" ".deps/GBA.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/GBA.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi



...... and it doesnt advance... it just plain stops. ANYone having a solution or even a hint is welcome to share his thoughts.

I'm guessing the g++ command for compiling some part of VBA fails, thus resulting in the execution of
rm -f ".deps/GBA.Tpo" (you should be able to confirm that this file is no longer present), followed by
an "exit 1".
Or, you could try running the "sudo make" again, followed right afterwards by
This should show the exit status of the "make" command.
I think this will tell you "1", indicating that the program failed.

If it does, you could try appending something like
to the end of the g++ command. This should capture any output or error messages of g++ into the file /tmp/compile_errors.
Then run a "cat" on that file and post back the error messages...
