Fedora :: SWFTools (0.8.1 / 0.9.0) Will Not Compile Properly
Nov 5, 2009
I'm new to Linux. I have recently made my first Linux install using Fedora 11 and Alfresco with a view to running a PoC ECM server. After some initial teething troubles and a seemingly exponential learning curve, Fedora and ALfresco are now installed and running bar a couple of things. Alfresco relies on swftools to automatically transform file types and swftools does not come installed either with Fedora, as an available package to download within the Add/Remove software program or with Alfresco.
I have installed the dependencies of swftools (zlib-devel, libjpeg-devel, giflib-devel, freetype-devel, gcc, gcc-c++ and make) but for some reason neither swftools-0.8.1 nor swftools-0.9.0 will compile properly. I even installed lame in case but still problems. This is what I do to install:
tar -zvxf swftools-0.9.0.tar.gz *stuff happens*
cd swftools-0.9.0
./configure --disable-lame (lame disabled as advised by Alfresco Wiki) *stuff happens*
make *stuff happens with errors*
The errors include :
warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'
Error 2 etc...
I just tried to install qtparted ver0.4.5 on my computer to help partitioning my HDs.After doing the "configure/make"-sequence (using unsermake, as required), I received following error during compilation: "qp_libparted.cpp:1751: error: �ped_free� was not declared in scope",My parted version is 1.9.0-3.7.1 from openSuSE 11.2.My question:
1. Do you know, which other library might contain this "ped_free"-declaration? 2. Any other perted GUI, that might work better (gparted is only available on a live DVD after boot)
I assume that this would be the correct place to put this, because codelite isapplication that you have to download via the Ubuntu Software center to get. But anyhow...I have been playing around with codelite for a little while nowand I wanted to use it for the purpose of learning how to script and write programs in Lua programming languageAccording to the program description it comes with the Lua support built in, but running it proves to me that it is solely a C++ application.
This isn't an extreme problem, though, I've read that Lua is supposed to be programmed through C++ anyhow. I am having only one problem that needs the attention. I ran through the code and got an error telling me that it could not find the #include files for Lua. A quick check of the /usr/include/ files showed me that there werendeed none in there.That being said, I went to the Lua website and downloaded the source and binaries *.tar.gz file, extracted it to a folder called "Lua." I am unable to move the #include files from inside its include folder to the main one on /usr/include/.
I have a feeling it is an administrator problem and that I need something involving the terminal or sudo to reach there. I have read around online, and they almost all say the same thing, telling me to navigate to the folder and "run make." I know what this is and how to do it, but it says that it cannot find the Makefile, which I have seen and know is in the folder, so it doesn't.Moving to the src folder within the Lua folder shows me that there is another Makefile, meaning that I have a second chance to make the files. I navigate to it, and then what do you know? Make works. Until the end, where I get a lot of errors and a termination of the process. Errors include Error 1 and Error 2, which I do not know what they are
I'm experiencing the following problem with latex. A tex file using using the beamer documentclass and the pstricks package will not compile properly. To be more precise, latex-ing results in a dvi file but the pspictures are missing. When using pdflatex I'm repeatedly prompted with a?. Replying with enter all the time gives a pdf file without the pictures again. I'm running 11.2 with KDE and the normal preinstalled texlive. Version 2008-13-15.1-x86_64 from the Update repo that is. A minimal example where this happens would be:
The whole code is written in C, C++, and Fortran. Is it possible to make it to use more than 4GB memory. Now it is always crashed when it reaches 3GB memory. If it is possible, how to set up the compiling options (or configure flags)? We can use gcc, g++, ...or intel compilers our OS: Fedora 12 x32
I am very much a Newbie to Linux/Fedora. Just installed Fedora 10, but having some problems with hardware driver recognition, particularly a wireless network PCI card. ndiswrapper is looking for a kernel in usr/src/kernels, which doesn't exist.In Fedora, is it necessary to compile a kernel? Looking through the FAQ at kernelnewbies, states to extract the kernel to a Linux directory, in usr/src, which also doesn't exist.
I am trying to compile a very simple 32-bit program on my 64-bit fedora 12 install, but it won't let me.
I get this error.
I tested it on the school server (64 bit Red Hat Server), and it compiled flawlessly without any warnings. I think I am missing some libraries, but don't know which.
I use a fedora-11 system and recently I installed llvm ( sudo yum -y install llvm llvm-docs llvm-devel ). When I search for llvm I get them in /usr/bin. some of the links to the binaries are broken(llvm-gcc,llvm-g++,llvm-cpp,etc.) the include files are found within /usr/include/llvm and libs at /usr/lib/llvm. How to compile them using g++? I tried to compile the kaleidoscope code given in the tutorial [URL] as per directed, but it fails to compile..
I get this...
toy.cpp:5:30: error: llvm/LLVMContext.h: No such file or directory toy.cpp:352: error: �getGlobalContext� was not declared in this scope toy.cpp: In member function �virtual llvm::Value* NumberExprAST:odegen()�:
[code]....
I cannot find the LLVMContext.h file too. so i guess this might be a version problem. what should i do to make it work?
I switched from suse to fedora, but i have a problem with gcc (i guess) i tried to reinstall it or upgrade it but i coudn't fix the problem.. There is a very simple example
I have been playing around with linux for a bit ... but i am getting to the point where i would like to know what is actually happening to the system .
Scenario ... I would like to install Mozilla Thunderbird On mozilla thunderbird website, current version is 3.1
However, when i run 'yum search thunderbird' i get a version 3.0.5.xxx
Why is repository not up to date?
So is it better to install through YUM or should i download the source and compile it?
If i compile it, will the YUM keep track of it if an update is made?
If compiled, how can i get it so it appears in the menu system (alacarte?)
Is it possible to extract and install source files through YUM (so it can keep track of the package)?
I am trying to compiling avahi from src.rpm, and got this error: /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtkapplication.h:57:3: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'GApplication'According to bug651328 Comment #2,gtk3 in F14 is a dead-end, unfortunately. gtk3 requires a newer glib than f14 has or will have.So how was the avahi rpm compiled? And how can I compile it from src.rpm?
I am trying to compile the QOCI (oracle driver) in fedora 14 . I am following this linkI was able to instal it using Debian. But now when I tried to compile the qt4 using make I got the error:
Code: /usr/local/src/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1/bin/moc: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied
I often like to use packages that have to be compiled from source. However, even after downloading gcc, I can't compile anything, because the configure script gives me a message about being unable to execute C programs. I gather that this is because of a "noexec" option in /proc/self/mounts. Problem is that the file apparently cannot even be edited by root. Perhaps there is an alternate type of fedora distribution I could use?
I've tried with kernel-2.6.25, with kernel-2.6.27 and still no sucess.I've search around and tried every solution and i cant get to succeed.I'm using kernel 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9 with iptables-1.4.1.1 and ipp2p-0.8.2I've applied the kernel-2.6.22 patch, the iptables-1.4.0 and iptables-1.4.1 patch and the hacks necessary to the Makefile so it compile and still no luck...This is my error:
Code: cd ipp2p-0.8.2 [root@hotspot ipp2p-0.8.2]# make
I am trying to get Frostwire for Fedora 12 and the RPM download does not work, I have been checking the web the past 8 hours trying to find version 4.20.3 in RPM format but i came up with nothing. I have a prevous version of it so please do not suggest I get a older version or limewire because limewire has a totally different problem. I downloaded the .tar.gz file and I have no idea how to install it. I think I heard something about having to compile it but to be honest I am compleatly lost in doing this. I have tried other online fourms about how to compile but i just do not really understand them. If you know how will you please give me a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to compile and install Frostwire.
I am trying to nuild executables to run on Windoze under Fedora 12. I have install all of the mingw32 RPMs. Now I just need a URL that discribes how to compile. I am using autoconf and automake. I have done it before but that was installing from Mingw32 source.
