I recently downloaded a source file from [URL] and wanted to compile it for fedora. I found that the source was written for ubuntu as all the instruction in README file was for ubuntu machine. Can I compile the source for fedora?
View 13 RepliesI 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?

And then to make sure again, i was update my gcc using "yum update gcc". But there was still errors during running ./configure. Finally, i decided to update all needed inside my fedora using "yum update" to make sure again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIve been using linux for a few months now and every now and again i come accross a program that doesnt have a rpm package but says that it can be installed on Fedora using source. I'm familiar with build essentials and the following commands:-
tar xzvf package.tar.gz
cd package
./configure
make
make install
but from what i have read fedora uses a differnet compiler. I'm trying to install Buddi budget manager and the ./configure command doesnt work, which im guessing is because it doesnt have a configure file? Can anyone confirm how to compile from source and whether there are any tutorials specific to fedora.

I am compiling apps from source. What packages do I need to install to be able to compile?
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.

Wanted to switch to Kubuntu and decided a clean install was the way to go. Though the learning curve isn't too tough, I've hit a serious snag: When I try to compile a source package according to the similar instructions in each of the README files, I get the same error message;
Instructions:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..

trying to install the latest version of Minitube on my 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 installation. I thought adding a PPA would let me upgrade from version 0.9 to the latest version but it didn't seem to work. So now I'm trying to install from source (I've never done this before so I'm a complete noob when it comes to compiling). I checked the install instructions in the source which reads:
Code:
# Build instructions
## Prerequisites
To compile Minitube you need Qt >= 4.5 installed.On a Debian or Ubuntu system just type:
sudo apt-get install build-essential qt4-dev-tools libphonon-dev
Windows and Mac users can get the Qt libraries from:
[URL]
Compiling on Linux is fairly easy. Just run:
qmake
and then
make
Beware of the Qt3 version of qmake! If things go wrong try running qmake-qt4 instead.
## Running
Just type:
./build/target/minitube
I installed the prerequisite packages,but just to be safe I wanted to run the ./configure command, but when I try to I get the "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" message. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Also, based on what I've read, I should have to enter some kind of install command in order to install the compiled binary but the instructions make no mention of this.
1. I was trying to compile a new version of blender from source.
2. It wasn't working. Apparently it is using python 3.2 now.
3. So I grabbed the source of python 3.2, compiled and installed. I think.
4. Still wouldn't compile. Couldn't find python 3.2.
5. So I went in to usr/share/python and changed debian-defaults to use 3.2 as the default.
6. To do that I made myself the owner of the usr directory
7. Now my system is buggered.
8. How do I restore roots privileges (if thats the problem)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the source of the application I want to modify, as well as the list of dependencies I need in order to compile. I got the source code for those and compiled/installed them. I'm fairly sure that all of the dependencies are installed. However, when I go to run the compiler it crashes while parsing some of the code.
I had the application installed before, and it ran. After tinkering around trying to get the source to compile, the app no longer runs either. It crashes, and if run from the CLI, spits out something about not finding one of the files from the SDL library.
So obviously I did something wrong to mess everything up, because I'm in a deeper hole than when I started. Anyone know how I would go about fixing this? Or even starting with a clean slate so that I can have another go at it?

I've been running hostapd for a while in 11g mode with great success. Having upgraded the router machine to maverick today, I had a poke at getting hostapd working in 11n mode without too much fuss. From cursory reading of old forum posts, this appears to now be built in functionality without needing to compile drivers or hostapd from source - this is borne out by a few 11n-related lines in the default configuration file.
When adding those two lines to my config file, though, I get the same error message I did a few years ago when trying this out for the first time:

How would I re-compile my current kernel's source? It's the i686 optimized kernel I selected from the install disc.
I have SUSE Linux 10.1 kernel 2.6.16.21.I copied the source RPM package for the broadcom netxtreme gigabit network adaptor and put it in the location /usr/src/linux as the instructions said. when I try to build it it is looking in the location 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp as you can see from the stdout shown below. So this version of the kernel is obviously 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp but I got the kernel source code for 2.6.16.21 from kernel.org. So the question is how to find the source code for 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp so that the driver will compile.---regards, WER
