runing the make command


ok, what exactly is the make command? and what does it do?
I have a program called linpal

http://www.ruinedsoft.com/linpal/

that gives me a .tar.bz2 files, i then extract it, cd to the directory, and run the make command like it tells me too, only to get this whole slew of errors ( at bottom of screen)
can anyone tell me what im doing wrong here?


[root@ip********* linpal-0.5]# make

The make command is used to compile source code into machine readable code.

You are getting errors because you do not have all of the prerequsites for that program installed. Once they are installed you should be able to compile the package.

As he said!

DO THIS FIRST!

http://www.zebulon.org.uk/urpmi_en.html

then you see each of the dependancies listed?

urpmi gtk

urpmi curl

etc.

Ok, unfortunately now you are on touchy ground.

The program you are trying to install is still in early developement.

In turn the developers are using not quite ready for prime time configurations.

As of Mandrake 10.0, Mandrake was/is utilizing GTK 2.2 not 2.4.

Installing GTK 2.4 may well cause many things to "break" on your system, which will depend upon gtk-2.0-2.2.x.

You could try downloading and installing gth2.4 from cooker, but frankly I would NOT advise that you upgrade a core set of routines like this, to anything other than what your distro expects.

I'm sure you'll see someone chime in, how this is perfectly fine.

It's not unless you also upgrade all of the related and interdependant programs.

And if you do actually do this, do you know what you end up with?

The latest and LEAST stable version of the Mandrake developement tree.

The "Bleeding edge" so to speak.

So what can you do?

1) Ask the developer if they have a 2.2 compatible release
2) Download and upgrade your entire distro to what the developer is using
3) Ask for a precompiled binary which is statically linked.
4) Ask for a Mandrakified RPM
5) See if someone has already created a compiled and made available a Mandrake compatible statically linked RPM.
6) Wait until either someone makes the above available or that this program is added to Mandrake Contribs.

Remember all you are trying to do is compile the program. Once the program is compiled and statically linked (if this is an option), it no longer needs the "wrong" library versions as the routines it needs are rolled into it, so to speak.

You are effectively trying to recreate the developer's compilation environment so you too can compile and install their software.

It's a bit of a quandry right?

I end up googling for Mandrake RPM's, use RPM find, etc. and forgo installing such applications unless:

a) I don't care about the repercussions, e.g. I'm happy to re-install Mandrake if needed.
b) I can compile the application and statically link it via a LiveCD distro which will not affect my carefully maintained Mandrake install.
