How to Install MegaTunix on Ubuntu Linux (all versions)

[cmaid]

Could someone compile a 64-bit deb for Lucid and upload it somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dave.

The error I was talking to you about the other day was because I was missing the pkg-config package.

Code: Select all

checking termios.h usability... yes
checking termios.h presence... yes
checking for termios.h... yes
checking for unistd.h... (cached) yes
./configure: line 16009: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBXML2,libxml-2.0'
./configure: line 16009: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBXML2,libxml-2.0 )'


Cheers

Is this with 0.9.20, or a previous version?

[bobbarker]

This is with 0.9.20. Tried from the tarball, then cvs update. Very new to all this, do you need to see more of the code in term to diagnose?

NOTE: CVS is deprecated. Its unusual that you get that issue.
please run the following commands and copy the output to this thread:

Code: Select all

cd megatunix-0.9.20/desktop

Tried erasing and starting over, but same result. ls returned same results in original and latter install. Thanks- Paul

Just goto into the menu directory, and ONLY the menu dir and run

ls

This is what I got. Thank you for your help.

A-HA! I see my issue. I screwed up the makefile so it didn't put those files in the tarball..

I have committed a fix to the git repo. I'll reply back as soon as I get this tested on a mac.

[bobbarker]

Any updates on this? Tried compiling with newest release off sourceforge and using latest .git with basically same results as above.. Pm me if thats easier for you, my mac is free for testing.

you've tried pulling from git? When? I verified the files are present in a git checkout, so it should be working
.

[piledriver]

...builds fine on my Mandriva 2010.1 and 2010.0 setup, which would lead me to think it isn't a makefile issue... (I'm not installing Ubuntu again,I suppose I do have space for a VM on the big box)

checked vs. latest git pull (worked on last one as well)

I can see missing/renamed dep issues between distros, but both are using gnu make...

[bobbarker]

For some reason I cant use git clone to compile, so I had to dl from git hub and place in dir. Attached is what I keep getting. Its user error I'm sure, maybe I should just run a windows xover. Thought I could figure this out.

If you are running OSX, you're in totally the wrong thread... Perhaps Ubuntu is installable on Macbooks?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook

ah... (from autogen.doc) checking dynamic linker characteristics... darwin10.4.0 dyld
You're lost. The OSX thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=106&t=35592

...From reading the OSX thread, installing/dual booting Ubuntu should be a breeze (and much faster) by comparison.

Tip: to update an existing git repo (like the downloaded version) the command is "git pull" from the directory the repo is in. (ls should show configure etc)
"git clone' is likely to bork on an existing repo (refuse to do the wrong thing) I ran ino that the first time I ran git. (try "man git")

[djandruczyk]

git clone for creating a new working copy of a remote repo. git pull to pull in the latest changes from the remote repository

i.e.
really quick way:

Code: Select all

mkdir git ; cd git
git clone git://github.com/djandruczyk/MegaTunix.git
cd MegaTunix
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

This assumes you have all proper pre-reqs installed.
