General :: Compile A Code From A Different Directory?
Jul 14, 2010
I do a lot of programming and I have to compile the code quite often. It's not convenient to move to the directory that contains the source code every time I want to compile it. So is there a way to compile a code from the my current directory (say /home example) without moving to the directory that contains the source. I remember being able to do this but forgotten how.
EDIT: I'm using makefiles to compile. Lets say I'm in the home directory and when I type
i try to compile a c code which uses SSH library,but i get this error
Code: libssh.h: No such file or directory
i searched and i found that This happens if a library used for linking is not present in the standard library directories used by gcc.
By default, gcc searches the following directories for header files:
/usr/local/include/ /usr/include/
and the following directories for libraries:
/usr/local/lib/ /usr/lib/
i update my libssh from libssh-0.4.2-1.fc13.i686 to libssh-0.4.6-1.fc13.i686, and there are files called libssh.so.4 and libssh.so.4.0.2 in /ur/lib, but i still can't compile it with this command:
I've created a GUI for my voip software wherein i'm using the source code of linphone 3.3.2 for video and all protcol stuffs . It is like i've got my own gtk GUI instead of the linphone's glade . Hope you get the picture of what i'm doing . I would like to know how to compile the source code since because i do not know about make files and stuffs . Kindly help me solve this .
I am trying to upgrade my NAS with anew toolchain, gcc-4.5.2. The NAS have been "hacked" fonz_plug, that contain a gcc version 4.1.3 with uClibc. I have download all needed tar files and done the following.My goal is to upgrade the gcc to 4.5.2 and replace the ucLibc on the system with a GNU libc.
# Pass one # # binutils ./configure --prefix=/ffp --libdir=/ffp/lib --includedir=/ffp/include --with-gmp=/ffp --with-mpfr=/ffp But when I try to compile the gcc with ../configure --prefix=/ffp --libdir=/ffp/lib --includedir=/ffp/include --enable-__cxa_atexit --with-float=soft --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-build-sysroot=/ffp --with-build-time-tools=/ffp/bin --with-system-zlib --enable-threads=posix --disable-bootstrap
I downloaded wine from a windows laptop, but because you have to have a computer running Linux to download it as a .deb package, I had to download the source code as a tar. bz2.
Does anyone know how I compile it and make it executable?
I am unable to compile C++ program in terminal. Whenever I try to add "#include<iostream.h>" it shows an error and thats why I can not use "cout" and "cin" functions. I installed g++ for this but the problem persists.
I have legacy fortran 77 code that used to compile seamlessly using g77 on an old machine. I've tried to recompile it on a new machine (old one is dead) using the original makefile, but the linker fails under g77, while there are persisting syntax errors using gfortran. I have two source files readmixed.f and subroutines.f. Under g77 the object files are produced using
$ f77 readmixed.o subroutines.o -o readmixed subroutines.o(.text+0x0): In function `norm1_': : multiple definition of `norm1_' readmixed.o(.text+0x3987): first defined here
I'm trying to write a helper for the mount utility (mount.truecrypt) and there are some things in the util-linux-ng package that would be helpful. For example, in fstab.c, there is a lock_mtab() function. I want to be able to do something like:
Code:
#include "fstab.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { lock_mtab();
[code]....
But I don't know how to compile it. I was trying (naively) something like:
But I guess the problem is fstab needs a whole bunch of other stuff. Should I just build the entire util-linux-ng package and then use the output somehow? If anyone is interested in mount.truecrypt (to be compatible with mount and /etc/fstab) you might be interested in giving me a little bit of guidance. I've got enough code to build the actual truecrypt command thus far. In fact, it's useable, but not robust (ie, doesn't lock the mtab, etc). You can browse the source for util-linux-ng here: [URL] and download a tagged release here:[URL]
I'm trying to compile some code [URL], which uses Glib. I have the libglib2.0-dev package installed, but running ./configure reports that Glib is not installed. Is the autoconfig script wrong or out of date, or do I need something else installed?
After updating to natty I cannot compile any Gtk+ code, no matter what I do I get linker errors. This is not a problem with the way I'm building it, I'm familiar with the correct usage of pkg-config.
Even this code will fail to link: Code: #include <gtk/gtk.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { gkt_init(&argc, &argv); gtk_main(); } (Compiled with the standard commands to compile Gtk+ stuff)
I always get the following output: Code: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_source_get_time' /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_get_monotonic_time' /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_simple_async_result_take_error' /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_slist_free_full'
I've taken the source code for Zlib1.2.3, built and installed in a 64 Bit linux machine. Then when i downloaded Python 2.5.4 source and tried to build(make), i got the following error
gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.5/opt/cinecert/Python-2.5.4/Modules/zlibmodule.o -L/usr/local/lib -lz -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.5/zlib.so /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libz.a(adler32.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/lib/libz.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
how to compile assembly code in linux? I am using AMD processor code instructions...is that amd registers inbuilt? with what file extension i should give while writing assembly code program?
I've been trying to work out a way to stop chunks of code being compiled using a variable in my makefile but can't work it out. What I mean is for example in my code I might have.
/****output comms portdata********/ printf(" debug comms port %d",ReadPort("ttys1);
I only wish this code to be compiled when I'm debugging. What I've tried is using #ifdef with
#ifdef COMM_PORT_DEBUG printf(" debug comms port %d",ReadPort("ttys1); #endif
Then in my make file I set COMM_PORT_DEBUG to 1 so
DEBUG_DEFS = COMM_PORT_DEBUG=1
I then thought I could put it into my in my link line
I am trying to build the java gnome gtk+ bindings on open suse and ran into a snag. the libcairo2-dev package is not apart of pensuse - how ever it is apart of ubuntu and the debian launchpad. can i install other distros repos to solve this issue? actually no i cant. how to install this package? zypper install libcairo2-dev comes back as not found.
Recently I was trying to use Gentoo, and I was really impressed of how it is faster than Ubuntu in running applications, specially when I build wine and was able to run Oblivion at a reasonable speed. I would like to know if there is a way to compile Ubuntu from source code, to optimize it to my hardware.
I am trying to install a DR rootkit into ubuntu for an assignment, im using vm ware but can only get as far as extracting the rootkit and not being able to compile the source code.. when i use the ./configure command it says there is no such file or directory and when i use the make command it keeps getting errors.
I actually thought there was something wrong with my programming skills.ut after I compiled the same code using Visual Studio, it worked. So here's the code that doesn't seem to be working right with gcc compilers, but they do compile. Note I'm using the Cygwin 3.4.4 version of gcc and 4.5.1 version of gcc from MinGW.
Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main()
I want to Install my Razer Deathadder on Suse 11.1, I allready found a programm: bu3sch.de The problem is, I cant compile the code. I cd into the folder with the source and use make (as root) and get this error:
Where do I find the linux-source package and the linux-headers package? Are they on the CD that I can copy to /usr/src (is that the right place...)? Or do I need to download them from the old-releases.ubuntu.com site?
The issue now is that the nVidia installer from their website wants the source code to build the right packages for this machine, however, I do not have the src directory with the source code that it is looking for. Is there some way to give this too it now?
This is the make step error./tmp/cctiuwxL.s is the make temporary dirictory which is distroyed after the make process finises . The problem is how can I hold the /tmp/cctiuwxL.s dirictory .Then I can check it and find out the proiblem.
i was trying to Compile my c++ program..cme across this problem....but my c programs are getting compilied without any problem.I am using fedora 14. Below is the way terminal reacted to my program..
gcc prog1.cpp gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
I want to modify the source of cd (the 'change directory' command) to do a little extra for me, but I can't seem to find the source code anywhere.. maybe I didn't look for it well enough, and googling "source code cd" and variants of that doesn't exactly help... I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the src?
Awhile back, PabloTwo pointed me to zenity as a way to create bash scripts with changeable parameters. That thread is here, for anyone interested in reading about it: [URL] Anyway, my problem is that I'm trying to capture input that contains double-dashes ("--") but zenity (or maybe or it's bash???) complains with the following error message:
"This option is not available. for all possible usages. bash: [/code]: No such file or directory"
Here's an example of what I'm doing:
Code:
# Select the time of day Flytime=`zenity --list --text="Select the Time" --radiolist --height=300 --width=300 --hide-column=2 --column="Select" --column="Code" --column="Time of Day" "" "--timeofday=real" "Local Time"
[code]....
What I want to accomplish is for the variable $Flytime to contain either "--timeofday=real" or "--timeofday=dawn" (without the quotes) depending upon which radio button is selected. I have tried escaping "--timeofday" (e.g. "--timeofday" and even "--timeofday") but that's not working.
I am a little optimistic now after my problem of wifi was solved by stoat that presisted for about a year, now i am trying to install my vpn client. he asks me to write the path of kernel source code directory : and i answer by:/lib/modules/2.6.26.8-57.fc8/build/
But he answers no such directory or file and i dont know why
The build is covered by a red box when displayed by a terminal so can any body tells me where i can find my kernel source directory or i should install them, how
I have downloaded the latest gnome commander source code from the gnome commander home page. Following the instructions in the readme I have extracted it from the tar ball and changed to the top level directory of the source code. I execute ./configure and get a bunch of "checking" results.
Quote:
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory ken@ubuntu:~/Desktop/gnome-commander-1.2.8.9/src$ cd .. ken@ubuntu:~/Desktop/gnome-commander-1.2.8.9$ ./configure
[code]....
I find Makefile.am and Makefile.in present in the directory. I generally install from deb packages. Still, I don't think it should be this hard to compile a package given the seemingly simple directions provided.
