I'm trying to get an understanding of( building RPM packages) and how to get a program to run on Linux. The only info I have found is about AutoTools but not what AutoTools actually does. If I knew how to manually install an application I would know how AutoTools works. Putting in environmental variables and configuring an AutoTools program does not explain what it does.
View 2 RepliesI have made a basic setup with configure.ac, Makefile.in etc. By running autoconf, autoheader and automake the configure script gets created as supposed. And the run of configure also seems fine (no errors).
But when i run make the compilation cannot find the gtk/gtk.h header on my system (it is in /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h )
You can see my source here: [url]
How du I put the correct -I/usr/include... and -L/usr/include... options into the makefile?
I want to remove PHP-5.3. completely from my machine after make it from source.

I have started to work with c++ and autotools.
I mainly maintain an application and a shared library as a hobby.
Nothing professional yet, because I want to understand the best practice strongly recommended by advanced professional programmers.
I check out my sources into $HOME/repository and svn creates:
Where I get c++ sources/headers + configure.ac and Makefile.am
Now I need to understand what is considered as a good practice for debugging application, either A), B) or something else.
A) install application and its dependency with:
or
B)
And then I debug the application in the place it was built. [$HOME/repository/app/src/]
i have been out of the ubuntu loop for several months due to a motherboard problem. i am going to be getting a new 64 laptop for christmas, with a dual core intel processor and windows 7 home premium as the OS.
i am looking forward to having my own computer again will be installing ubuntu on it. but, before i install ubuntu, i would like to know how to remove ubuntu and return the new computer to its original state if it ever becomes necessary.
i was comforatable using programs such as mbrfix along with gparted to accomplish this task with my old computer, but that was a 32 bit windows xp machine.
will i be able to use these programs with my new laptop? i'm unfamiliar with 64 bit systems, windows 7 etc. and how they may differ from the older computer that i was used to.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some file tools on a mint machine that I would rather not install on my mac laptop. Mainly because of the vastness of apt-get and the low risk of installation failure. Anyway, every so often I have a file that I want to process in place using some remote tool. Both machines can ssh right in to each other so I was figuring there must be some script or tool out there that would allow me to type out something like remote [file] [tool & args] to send my file to the other machine, get it processed, then get it back.

I was using amarok fine with 10.04, upgraded to 10.10 alpha, still worked fine. Decided alpha had a few bugs I didn't like so I completely removed it, installed 10.04 from scratch again (I have two partitions, / and /home, only formatted /). Now I can't get amarok to build for me at all. It plays mp3's no problem but when I try to build my collection it pretends to (takes a few minutes but goes relatively fast compared to what it should take to build) then shows 0 songs. I've already tried deleting amarok inside of /home/user/.kde/share/apps/amarok

Code:
I looked into gcc-version.sh but the problem is located somewhere else I thought at first one of the files might have been corrupted and I downloaded the archive again.

Looking at building a system that basically just runs emulators (nes, snes, etc). Haven't messed around with linux for a couple years so I thought this might be a great project to get back into it with. Maybe.
Questions I have-
- How easy is it to have a linux installation that just boots directly into the emulator? Since it will be hooked up to a tv, I just want it to be as easy as turning on the power button and then I'm off.
- Is there a stripped down linux distro that would be best suited for this type of setup? Really any recommendations for a distro would be great.
- Its running on old hardware- 900mhz athlon, 512mb ram, geforce2 video. Will this be a problem if I'm trying to run something like i've described?
I can do basics, You know checking my hardware, cd to a dir, bring up -man of commands, stuff like that.
What I am wondering is what is the best way for one to get familiar with using the terminal as the main source of operation? I pretty much want to jump in the deep-end (well maybe the middle 7 feet or so), but with my knowledge of commands can pretty much just sit here and type $ls, $lspci,$uname ... and that gets dull. I want to utilize the terminal and have something to show for it, but do not know where to begin. I got linux so I could interact with the system, and though I am doing more of that then with MS I feel I am not doing enough.
I have been try for a while now to build this and I am not getting very far. I have download the usbip-0.1.7.tar.gz from sourceforge.net I then followed [URL] to get a full kernel source. then went to usbip-0.1.7/drivers/2.6.18 and issued the command
Code:
make KSOURCE=~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686
but it failed with:

while building a package i got this error. Package name is python-gnomecanvas and i am working in debian.
I am not able to get it correct.
I'm building the code on remote linux machines, and it takes very long time. Since all the filesystem is on NFS, I suspect the NFS is the bottleneck. Can I profile the build process (make all) down to system read/write calls? Or simply put, what tool do I need to find the bottleneck. Is strace gonna help?
