Slackware :: Build Xf86-input-summa And Missing Header Files?
Mar 1, 2010
I am modifying the the xf86-input-summa driver to work with my older Bitpad One digitizer (the Sketchpad uses a slightly different communication, two more bits resolution, etc), but i hve a problem building. I ran configure and it reported no errors, but when I make I get missing header files, like:
xf86Summa.c:33:25: error: xf86Version.h: No such file or directory
xf86Summa.c:122:24: error: xf86Config.h: No such file or directory
xf86Summa.c:124:24: error: atKeynames.h: No such file or directory
i was trying to install iftop using make installso when i ran /configureit told me that some header files are missing and some modules aaare also missingis there a way to search for the missing header files on the internet and missing modules n the internet
Development Package X has a header file that includes another header file, provided by package Y. But package X doesn't have the requires set to dependupon package Y.
Do you know any tools to check which packages has missing dependencies ?
I've started using the huge.s kernel and when i try to compile packages slackware complains about kernel headers but all i see is the smp header files on the slackware discs ?
as I'm advancing in building some nice rpm I finally wanted to install on of my gems also the build was successful the actual install fails with missing dependencies.
Code:
$ rpm --root /home/sascha/rpmbuild/ -i ./RPMS/x86_64/memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64
Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.
I was trying to install openSSH on my computer and when I ran ./configure eventually came to this error:checking for openssl/opensslv.h... noconfigure: error: *** OpenSSL headers missing - please install first or check config.log ***
I have an init script running as a special build user which performs an automated build that fails with (Too many open files).I updated /etc/security/limits to allow the special user more open files, but that didn't work - the init script still isn't allowed more open files.Here's a demonstration of the problem;
After installing some Fedora software updates, I can no longer see the header frame in every window. Furthermore, I can't access any window frame after I open a new window frame.
How can I fix this? Can I remove all the updates I recently installed?
Note : After installing these update, when I reboot the system, I can see there are two version of Fedora.
When is it good to use separate translation units and object files and link them into the main C program, and when is it good to include the header files in the main C program? I don't understand if most people include header files or if most people just link in object files and use their contents in the main program. It's sort of a simple question, but it's confusing to me and that's why I need help with it. I sort of don't understand the difference, or if there's really no difference other than the way the final result is achieved, which way is better or preferred, etc...
For example:
Code:
or:
Code:
Simple explanation of the difference? or which one is preferred or better? I've read a little on the ELF format... so is there no difference in the end result? It's just a matter of preference or necessity, and where the information is to begin with?
I downloaded from http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/s...ce/n/net-snmp/ source and I build new package and works ok no errors. If I change net-snmp.SlackBuild and add CFLAGS --with-mib-modules=ucd-snmp/lmSensors --with-ldflags=-lsensors while I need lmsensors support in net-snmp. But the package compiling ends with error:
I tried to update the header files manually in the include folder, because I thought that I needed to have windows.h etc, but now nothing compiles and I get a good 80 errors for even hello world. I have tried removing g++ and all related packages, deleting the header files folder and reinstalling, but it reinstalls the broken files. Any way of restoring the originals without reinstalling ubuntu?
I tried to build several packages designed for slackware 13 at slackbuilds. Those was a simple apps like ardour, audacity for example.

My CPU is AMD Phenom 9550 Quad core. It supports 64 bit. My os is slackware 13_64. What do I need to change in slackbuild to create a txz package for those apps?
I've installed Fedora 12 (KDE version) on VMware workstation running under Windows 7.
I've been able to configure the VMware tools fine up until this point:
Code:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? After some searching online I deduced I should install all of the latest updates and kernel-devel.
I then nuked the previous VMware tools install and started over with it again, but alas, no directory I try works (i.e. /usr/src/kernels/, /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686/ and so forth).
I am new to linux. I want to use a header file asm/msr.h. But the /usr/include does not contain the header file that I want. Can I just copy the whole asm directory into the directory /usr/include, and overwrite the old one?
I need to install some module which needs to be interated into OS's.
It asks me: "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? "
I know that I need kernel-devel package and I installed this yum install kernel-devel after that I have this /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.26-175.fc12.i686/include/
Now when I run configuration it does not work
Does it mean that I need to update the kernel so that it matches to the kernel-devel module available in the net?
I want to use kmalloc() to allocate contiguous memory on ram. But I can not seem to find the required header file(s) like linux/slab.h. I suppose I do not have the required library and I certainly do not know what and where to look.
I have been a predominant Windows user for a long time but shifted to Ubuntu recently. I was just trying out a few basic C functions when i realized that the "conio.h" header file isn't included in the libraries and therefore i was unable to use the "clrscr()" function.
I downloaded a tarball which contained the necessary library and header files including conio.h. Once extracted, i specified the location and included in the program as " #include "path to the header file" ".
I still didn't call the "clrscr()" function, and it compiled successfully. Next i edited the program to call that function and it gave the following error...
I have written a simple library and ended up with a .so file. I have a header file from writing the code that describes how to use the functions in the source code I have written. I think this .h files needs to be available to other programs that access this code.
I have seen lots of tutorials on how to copy the .so file to the relevant directories and make links with the version number. What I can't find is where to put the header file so that any programs I write to use my new library can access the header.
Hope this makes sense. For example, I might use <stdio.h> normally, I will need to access <mylibrary.h> once mylibrary.so is loaded (as far as I understand!)
It's weird, I've been using C compilers for embedded processors over ten years now and never given a second thought to how libraries and headers work behind the scenes!
While setup of vmware on CentOS5.4 i am facing the below error.What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your runningkernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
I'm trying to install a BCM 4312 wireless driver following the Centos howto. Howtos>Laptops>Witeless>Broadcom
On step 3, compiling ... module.I get No rule to make target `build' Stop.When I go to the /lib/modules/2.6.18.194.3.1.el5 directory, the Build file link is broken.If i go to the link source /usr/src/kernels/2.6 ...x86_64 does not exist. The /kernels folder is empty.I think I need to reinstall the identified kernel in that directory and reestablish a link to it. but am not savy enough to do that on my own.
I'm a recent convert from Linux Mint to Debian for use with an HTPC media center.
I've been using Kodi + Playstation BD Remote for some time successfully with Mint.
I'm having issues getting the remote to work under Debian.
Typically I've been able to pair with Blueman and connect to the Input Service, however, under Debian, There are no "Input Serivce" options in the menus of Blueman..?
I don't know if this is because I'm missing some package that enables this or because my remote is not recognized as an input device. I suspect it is the former, because a bluetooth keyboard I have doesn't expose the "Input Service" menu option either.
I am using Fedora 12 with VMWare Player 3. I want to install the vmware tools. To get them properly working i need the location of the kernel header files. In which directory are they usually stored?
I just had a hard drive failure on my mythtv box that I had been running F14 on. I reinstalled F14 and just got about everything up and running like normal again except that I upgraded the kernel by mistake when I was upgrading everything else to current levels. The problem is that I run a hauppauge pvr150 on this mythtv box, and the code for capturing on this card is broken on the latest kernel version. I have the kernel headers and development files installed for the newest kernel that I can't really use, but I didn't install the kernel headers for the older kernel before the upgrade. Now, I am looking for a way to forcefully install the older kernel development files so that I can compile my the proprietary nvidia drivers against it for my adapter. I downloaded the rpm files from the fedora 14 repository directly. Is there an option for rpm that I can use to force the installation?
I am running VMware inside windows 7 64bit.I have installed ubuntu 2.8 ultimate edition on a 20gb partition and used 1gb of ram....everything is updated etc and running good. I checked in the VMware tools bar the entity tab,and says tools is not installed.
So when i run the install everything goes well untill it reaches the point where it says "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
I have tried everything,different tutorials,installed a build package etc and it still asks for the directory. here is the uname r output : uname r : 2.6.35-24-generic
