Basic Compile help!

Post by callestropp » 2006-03-20 13:08

Hi there,

I've downloaded dc++ source code to my linux comp.

Ive downloaded and extracted all the essential adons, or whater you would like to call it.

But anyways my problem is that WHERE do i start my compilation, Im in root
cant find any build, makefile.am doesnt work, and when i run ./bootstrap = permission denied.

so please how am i supposed to compile it?

Love some help, thanks!

compile.txt wrote:Linux / Unix:
I've made some rudimentary autoconf/automake scripts now, so you can compile the client part into a library
without too much hassle (I don't check if it compiles very often though...). You'll need the latest versions
of automake and autoconf, and after getting the source (from CVS is easiest), do
"aclocal && automake && autoconf && configure && make" and you'll have the client part nicely compiled.
When / if I test it I do it on a Gentoo AMD64 box with the latest gcc in 64-bit mode, so I don't have a clue
if the 32-bit compile works...

You distribution should also have packages for them. It might also be possible to combine aclocal/automake/autoconf into just 'autoreconf'.

Now ive installed automake and autoconf

and i started with "run autoconf" in the dc++ dir
then i ran ./configure which i dont think worked

How should i proceed? could any1 give me a little list over commands to run like

first autoconf
./config
and so on

Would be gr8

c ya mates

,when i run automake it says that many files are missing like install.sh so im i uspposed to do something before?

May I ask why exactly you are trying to compile DC++ on Linux?

(TPO is saying that DC++ doesn't have a GUI on linux -- only Linux DC++ [a port by some other individuals] does.)

His mention of "essential addons" and ./bootstrap makes it sound suspiciously like he actually is talking about DCH++....

i think he means stl and wtl....
the chances of somebody having DCH++ are quite minimal :P
