Pidgin Compilation Error
Hi out there !!! I started to install pidgin 2.5.2 in my slackware 12.1 .
When i run ./configure it returns this error : Code:
configure: error: Thanx in advanced an sorry for ma bad english. |
Slackware does not use "dev" packages like all the RPM based distros.
Why don't you just use the pidgin.SlackBuild script and sources for Slackware-current to build a package for your slackware-12.1? See http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar...ce/xap/pidgin/ Eric |
Thanx a lot my friend for helping me. I run the .sh script an then i run make but after a lot of time it returns back this error :
Code:
gcc: /usr/lib/libgtkspell.so: No such file or directory |
YOu need a full installation of Slackware. If you only install the missing gtkspell package now, you will undoubtedly run into other missing libraries later on.
Slackware 12.1 - or one of the fork distros? Eric |

look at the SlackBuild script. Basically it's just a set of bash script to configure, compile and install the package to certain directory and then make a tgz package from it.
Look at the ./configure line. You can add/remove/modify those lines to configure how you will install your application |
In your original post, you said you were running ./configure. Regardless, the install.sh file is a script which consolidates the compile steps. That consolidation reduces your control. If you run ./configure --disable-gtkspell it should work around the error and allow you to go to the "make" step.
Take a look at the INSTALL file. Detailed instructions are there and seem pretty straight-forward. |
Thanx a lot dudes !! This community Rocks :D:D Problem solved by adding
Code:
--disable-gtkspell |
