Installing

Ceaser123 — Wed, 24 Dec 2003 08:19:41 GMT

Would someone please tell what I'm doing wrong?
What is the trick to getting ./configure make and make install to work correctly? No matter what I try to install I get different errors. I can try to install something and list the errors if someone would be willing to take the time and help me.

It totally depends on what you are trying to configure and make. And on what kind of configuration. Not all software configures correctly on all OS's and versions and compilers and compiler versions.... So probably your problem is related to something like this... So please give some more info on what you're trying to do and perhaps someone can help you (I won't be around till next tuesday after about 1 hour).

Unless the application package uses swinstall (the package is in Software Depot format), getting the install to work is a problem for the author of the package. There are no guarentees that a particular makefile will work unless the author has tested it on each platform and has carefully documented the prequisites. For instance, a developer may assume that every HP-UX installation has the aCC compiler, a set of development libraries and certain freeware tools (because that is what is on their computer). The reality is that the vast majority of HP-UX systems do not have a development environment so these assumptions will fail. A well-written makefile would test for these conditions, but just like any program, there are good one and there are bad ones. Ask the author of the package what is wrong.

What are some good dev libs that I would probably need? I tried to install xfce 4 on 11.00 and got errors. Here is an example of the config. Could you tell me if this is good or bad?

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure

Ok here is an example of what I have been going through. I still can't believe anyone succeeds at this...I want to install KDE on HP-UX 11.00. According to the website I can download Konstruct and:

"Konstruct" is a build system which helps you to install KDE releases and
applications on your system. It downloads defined source tarballs, checks
their integrity, decompresses, patches, configures, builds and installs them.

Also:
A complete KDE installation should be as easy as "cd meta/kde;make install"
which with this version gives a complete KDE 3.1.4 installation. Optionally
you can install additional applications like KOffice 1.2.1, KDevelop 2.1.5
or Quanta 3.1.4 too, just run for example "cd apps/koffice ; make install".

Ok, no prob. I downloaded and ftp'd to my unix box with a binary xfer.
Moved to the dir where Konstruct is located,

I read the following in the readme:
Be sure that you have a live internet connection. Choose a target and change
to the directory which helds its definition, e.g. "cd kde/kdebase". Now run
make with one of the following targets, usually you only need "make install".

I went into the kdebase dir and typed "make install" just like the doc says. Here's what happened:
Make: Must be a separator on rules line 1. Stop.

Now what? The docs didn't say anything about this. Was the author or person who wrote "A complete KDE installation should be as easy as "cd meta/kde;make install" on drugs?
anything I download and try fails. EVERYTHING!
only the .depot files work and then only half the time if I'm lucky to get all the deps. If all the deps are .depot except one which is something I need to do ./configure, make, make install... forget it. It don't work.
Now...Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I am told to read all docs and readme's. (like the konstruct?) What do I believe and what do I not? Is it possible that everyone else has success with this except me? I know not all programs can be compiled and loaded on all platforms. ok...I've been at this for 3 weeks and have tried to do ./config....on approx 45 different programs and NONE have been successful. What is the trick?

Please provide me with your OS version -
Also - what compiler do you have (i.e. c/ansi C compiler, gnu, etc) I have some env things I do to get the misc gnu utilities built, and will post them in a bit, when I find them, but do need a little info in order to help you.

I set the email flag...

I suggest being more helpfull towards the developer of the package and get a step by step trace through screen shot output of the code to see what really goes on behind the scenes when installing , just as windbg is used for windows , then the same applies to this problem.
