Ubuntu :: Installing App From Source
May 4, 2010
i know that the command /.configure will make the "make" file and then i have to make " make install" to install the app. but how to deal with the dependency problem ? i asked my friend about it and he said why dont you use apt instead to install packages but what if i want to use distos like slackware? anyway that friend was not interested in helping me out and i m not expecting to. but can anybody answer this in detail or provide any document on this..

OS: Ubuntu 10.04.
When I try to install some packages by aptitude, I see this:
Before it, I made it (sudo apt-cdrom add):
And it (sudo apt-get update):
My dvd-disk is not broken - md5 checksum is right. In sources.list I have only cdrom source, without any network repositories. When I install one package (for example pptp-linux) which don't use any depending, it work good, but when I have some group of packages - installed only first package from this group, you can see this in a first image, marked by yellow color and set to 16 percent.

Since I cannot find a deb of thunderbird 3.3, I would like to find another way to install 3.3 on maverick. I have no experience installing from source, so I may need to be coached through it step by step, but I am eager to learn and VERY motivated Why? I am trying to switch from gmail webmail to thunderbird, because of enigmail and privacy. However, I have been spoiled by gmail's elegance, and in order to get the conversation view add-on, so thunderbird still looks like gmail, the add-on requires the 3.3 version of thunderbird. The latest stable version which is in the repos (maverick) is older (3.1). I have already have done the following:
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
then i downloaded the files and extracted to my home directory.now, according to the ubuntugeek, I should execute the following commands:
Code:
./configure make
sudo make install
clean install
but I have a few doubts:
1) Should I first uninstall thunderbird 3.1? and enigmail?
2) Where do I install it, so it can still find my mails and work as now?
3) If it doesn't work out, can I go back, and if so, how? Once installed, will it be uninstallable from apt or synaptic?
4) Will Ubuntu continue to upgrade my thunderbird once a newer version is available at some time in the future?

Im trying to install mupen64plus, but to be honest, everything i have installed is from the package manager.I have no idea how to do this through the terminal. But I tried installing the mupen64plus from the package manager, and everytime I open a rom, mupen64plus closes and doesnt load anything....
That version was 1.5, and I downloaded 1.99.3 or whatever it is from the mupen site, but I cant get the sucker to install. There is a install.sh file which I chmod +x too. I then tried, ,/install.sh, make install.

I was wondering if there are any tools that automate the process of installing from source for example tar.gz or tar.bz2. I have used kludge installer but I am looking for something that doesn't make me install any dependencies for example I want a bash shell script it just runs the commands you normally do but faster.

I am having a problem installing a program, AudioTester v1.6 and tests FLACs for errors. [URL]. The .zip file has a windows executable '.exe' and the source code. The code was written for Windows. The source code is written in C++ (.cpp) with C header (.h) files, xml (.vcproj) and one '.exe.manifest'(?) file. I tried the usual commands for compiling (./configure, autogen, make) the source code but no luck. Can I compile this code for Ubuntu/linux? Is there anything I can do with the code? And If so what do I need to do.

I downloaded latest mediawiki, moved the tarball to /usr/share/ exploded the tarball via
Code:
then
Code:
Then in your web browser point to local host 127.0.0.1/wiki
It will then bring you to the wiki configuration setup pages, and you may install databases for this package via phpmyadmin. im going to remove the alias to php my admin after i am done using it again to cut off outside world from seeing the php my admin login page for security reasons.
Im going to do this by adding a # infront of the alias in /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf and making it look like this.
Code:
My next to default ubuntu install says we should install caching, and pecl.
Pecl search in synaptic shows dh-make-php as first result. install that, then install [url] extension for mediawiki. i already have apache mysql and php installed, but if you dont have those installed they are requried.
download latest [url], tar -xf intl* to explode package.
## im clearly going to have to refine this.... php-apc shows up in synaptic, installing it does not stop the wiki installer page from throwing errors. going to try [url] to see if that resolves one
download the latest source of eaccelerator.
[url]
tar -xf eaccelerator source package to explode it,
phpize command tells me i need php-dev package, i pull the package from synaptic. i also grab libicu-dev while i am at it.
Code:
goes through, then
Code:
Code:
add to the top of the file the e accelerator info.
Code:
Code:
Code:
Then purge eaccelerator source directory and pure the tarball out of your system.
At this point we are going to make a database for the mediawiki by uncommenting the alias that keeps phpmyadmin shut off from attacks.
Code:
Then
Code:
Then point the browser @ 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin
Then setup your database for wikipedia, i named mine wiki
Make a user, i named mine wiki.
Password your database, and follow prompts in the media wiki package
Comment the alias of phpmyadmin to disable the phpmyadmin pannel/address
Restart apache and your good to go on linking the wiki.

I have a fresh install of Debian Squeeze AMD64 which I'm trying to install KVM on. I have no idea what I'm doing so I figured someone on these forums might be able to explain it. I have already verified VT support and enabled it in the bios. I have googled and read about KVM installation but everything I can find is either confusing or doesn't work. Also I am trying to install it from source because I want to experiment with modifying it later.

i am trying to install libtorrent and rtorrent from source packages. however while configuring i get this:
Code:
checking for OPENSSL... configure: error: Package requirements (openssl) were not met:
No package 'openssl' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables OPENSSL_CFLAGS and OPENSSL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. i ve come to "PKG_CONFIG_PATH" a lot of times while trying to install something manually on fedora.

I am trying to install gcc from source, but wish to install to an alternative location, ie /opt/gcc/4.4.4.
I have done so but ran into the problem that the system libs in /usr/lib64 were being located before my libs in /opt/gcc/4.4.4/lib64.
So, I set --libdir=/usr/lib and reinstalled. The libs link in correctly, but now g++ cant find includes, for instance <complex>. I think I could set CPATH to point to the locations of these includes but that doesn't seem like it should be necessary.
So my question is, what is the correct way to install gcc alongside the system versions while allowing linkage to the right libs and location of the includes? I don't want to use prefixes or suffixes because the intel compiler looks at gcc -v to get clues as to how to compile stuff.
It should be noted that I have no internet connectivity on this machine, so building from source is my only option.

I'm attempting to install clisp from source and I get the following message at the end of running

I did as it suggests and opened the config.lisp but I am unsure where I add the unlimit command so it will work properly. I tried just dropping it at the top of the file but it did not do anything.

I just started to use debian at what i would call full speed as soon as i received my copy of the debian 6.0.0 DVDs. i installed it on two offline desktops, one for a friend. i have been able to install certain softwares that don't come along with the distribution such as firefox 4, openoffice 3.3, the latest jdk_update_24, and others, and i've been able to configure them to work well i think... but now, i learnt of the new gnome 3 that has been released recently. i've ofcourse downloaded all the source files at [URL] but now am facing a problem of how i can install these on to the debian computers (they don't have any internet connection).

I am planning to install any Open-Source ( LINUX ) web browser having all dependencies/plugin-ins on one single location [DIR] and share it over NFS to all other users; So all users can run the executable to start browsing local files (Flash Tutorials) without the need of installing a web browser on every single workstation. In my case I am using Red Hat Linux 4 update 7 WS all over my work place.

I am attempting to install Banshee 1-1.7.3 in Gentoo. So far I cannot find an ebuild (any links would be greatly appreciated) so I am attempting to install it from source. However I am getting stuck at the first hurdle; when I attempt the ./configure command all the dependencies check out OK, but I then get this error message at the end:
Quote:
./configure: line 12014: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_LIBDIR: command not found
./configure: line 12015: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_BINDIR: command not found
./configure: line 12016: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_DATADIR: command not found
[code]....
The reason that I am wanting this version of banshee is to use the Amazon MP3 plugin. Gentoo has an app for this in the portage repositories but it is hard masked for amd64.

I downloaded the source for the latest valgrind and ran ./configure. It quits saying:
Quote:
checking the GLIBC_VERSION version... unsupported version
configure: error: Valgrind requires glibc version 2.2 - 2.10
I've seen a slackbuild package for it. I'd like to have valgrind installed, but I'd prefer installing from source. Are unofficial packages the only way to go for the newest or newer release? EDIT: I meant to ask also, very important, what problems could arise from installing a slightly older version? I don't need a long, complex answer. Just off the top of your head, if it would be real stupid to do, let me know. I can google some time.

I find my self abit stuck upgrading OpenSSL to the latest version. The situation is that i've been running LAMP servers just fine by installing the web services from the repositories AND the web services from source. However im now in the process of making a PCI-DSS compliant server LAMP server. I've just had the vulnerability scan report back and its failed due to the OpenSSL having vulnerabilities and it tells me I must upgraded to version higher 1.0.0d.
I've basically spent hours and hours trying to get this working along with research but I dont seem to be having much luck with this one
Im using a fresh install of CentOS and trying to create a RPM using the source code and rpmbuild, I read this was the best way I read, and this is my first time using rpmbuild.

cd /usr/src/
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz

The ATI/AMD graphics hardware is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240 OEM]
I installed "AMD/ATI Open Source Drivers" according to: "[URL] ....":
Reboot after "apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree", the system automaticly reboot after grub, then went black screen forever (no tty1,tty2.., seems cannot booting). I reinstalled serveral times but same problem (having tried both cd/live dvd, debian8.1/8.2).
It seems that "firmware-linux-nonfree" is the cause, since debian crashed once firmware-linux-nonfree installed.
The problem went away by installing ATIProprietary driver("[URL] ....").

At work / home / laptops I have about 5 slackware machines. I have always tended to install new packages on each machine from source, generally using slackbuilds when available. I thought I would try 'libreoffice' and reading alien-bobs blog I deduced that a full from source install might be pretty difficult, so I followed his advice and just took the package (.txz file) and used installpkg. To my slight surprise this installed and ran perfectly.
Now I'm wondering if someone would clarify under what circumstances you can just take the slackware package from one machine to another and install. More generally I guess what are the main advantages of building from source. Is it mainly about availability of all the required dependencies?
